Every year the GAL lab brings national GIS Day home to Notre Dame by hosting an event here on campus with the goal of building a community of interest around the display and manipulation of geospatial data. This year's event, held in Jordan Auditorium in the Mendoza College of Business on Friday November 19, kicked off with an opening reception and poster session, followed by a series of short videos introducing GIS. Notre Dame's Ron Kraemer, VP of Information Technologies and CIO, gave the welcoming remarks to open a full afternoon of lectures. More information on the speakers and the event can be found on the GIS Day website.
