***rescheduled***Give a 5-min. presentation about GIS, maybe you'll win an ArcGIS for Personal Use license

***This event has been rescheduled***
Note from Jo Klein, Geospatial and Data Visualization Librarian:
The GIS Day event originally to be held at Jackson Library this Wednesday 11/13 at 3PM will be rescheduled for 2020! New date and location TBD; the form for submissions will remain open. 

******

Are you a geographic information system (GIS) user or are you interested in GIS? Do you have a GIS-related project to showcase or know of any cool GIS tools or maps? Share your work in a presentation at GIS Stew!

GIS Stew is a UNCG University Libraries event where students, faculty, and other members of the UNCG community come together to share their work and inspire others to learn more about geographic information systems (GIS), through 5-minute lightning round-style presentations.

Presentations can be about anything within the theme of GIS use: this is your chance to show off the spatial analysis you did for a research project, the process of how you made that cool map for class, or even just a really nifty interactive map that tells a story about something that interests you (and maybe how it was made)!

Presenters will be entered in a drawing to win 1 of 5 free Esri ArcGIS for Personal Use licenses, provided by Esri as part of GIS Day, an Esri event that seeks to provide a platform for GIS users to share their work and inspire others to learn more. Learn more about GIS Day at https://www.gisday.com/.
