Penn State University Libraries will observe GIS Day--  an annual event celebrating the technology of geographic information systems (GIS)-- with sessions on Nov. 18 and a trivia event on Nov. 19.

The program is available in-person and online.

This year’s activities focus on geospatial presentation, networking opportunities and student engagement. With a theme relating to 2024 Geography Awareness Week: Geographers Take Action, the sessions explore the contributions of geographers.

The event will conclude the following evening with an interactive trivia game featuring questions on maps and GIS.

All are welcome to attend, as both new and current users of geospatial information are encouraged to participate in activities. These events are free and open to the public.

Complete information on speakers is available at the Penn State GIS Day website. Session times are aimed toward alignment with class meeting times in order for instructors to incorporate into class sessions.

This event is co-sponsored by the Penn State Department of Geography and the University Libraries.

Visit the Penn State GIS Day Announcement webpage for more information and Zoom links.  Questions should be directed to Tara Anthony at tll38@psu.edu.
