Open House to Celebrate International GIS Day

The Rhodes community is invited to attend an Open House in celebration of International GIS Day on Wed. Nov. 20. The open house will be held from 12:30-2:30 pm in the GIS Lab, Frazier Jelke, room 132E. Dessert will be provided.

The displays will illustrate how spatial analysis can be used in a variety of ways across the Rhodes campus. Many of the projects were developed by participants in the fall ACS-funded seminar entitled, “Intregrating GIS into the Liberal Arts Curriculum.” The projects come from Physics, Modern Language, Biology, International Studies, Economics/Business, History, Anthropology/Sociology, Urban Studies, Geology, Library and Information Technology Services, Admissions, and the Meeman Center.

Come and see detailed maps of Iraq. Investigate where the minority applications for admission come from, where the infectious diseases in Tennessee are located, and what the soils are like in the wine growing areas of the Napa Valley in CA, and more!

The following people will be participating: Tony Becker, John Bienvenu ’03, Darlene Brooks, Kate Burgess ’05, Sarah Crisler, Sara Donley ’03, Timothy Gibson, Delphia Harris and Muhammad Shafi from LeMoyne-Owen, Caley Foreman, Dee Garceau, Christine Grimm ’03, Marilyn Hury, Jeff McCrary ’06, Ryan McLaughlin ’03, Mary Miller, Jeff Norris, Eva Owens, Allen Ryan, Richard Redfearn, Bill Short, Chuck Stinemetz, Curtis Thomas,
