The OHIO Geography Department and the Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs are pleased to present the third annual OHIO GIS Day Celebration on Nov. 16, which marks the international celebration of GIS Day.
Come learn how GIS applies to research and real-world, regional projects.
Geographic Information System (GIS) technology isn’t just maps. It is a 21st century platform for communicating all types of information about our dynamic world in a more visual way.
These events are free and open to the public. Pizza will be provided. Please bring your own water bottle to this Earth Day, Every Day Green Event.
