GIS / Mapping Working Group

The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) / Mapping working group is a network of CUNY students, faculty and staff who are interested in sharing methods and techniques, and finding support from others about ways GIS can be used to further research and teaching.

The GIS/Mapping working group is part of a GC Digital Initiatives program designed to create collaborative communities of Digital Fellows, CUNY-wide graduate students, staff, and faculty to meet regularly and share their areas of interest. The working groups provide a sustained, supportive environment to learn new skills, share familiar skills, and collaborate with both the Digital Fellows and the CUNY digital community.

If you are using Geographic Information Systems or other mapping technologies in your teaching and/or research, or if you are interested in mapping your data, or using GIS technology to analyze/visualize your data, we invite you to join the GIS/Mapping working group.

Peruse our mapping resource bank here: https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/gis-working-group/docs/gis-mapping-resources/

For the Spring 2024 semester, the GIS/Mapping working group will meet in the Digital Scholarship Lab, Room 7414, every other Tuesday from 2-4 p.m. Check out our event calendar for the specific meeting dates. Please stop by!

    Hi all,

    The Career Center is offering an excellent opportunity to meet employers and learn more about working in the Public Policy sector. I encourage you to consider attending if you\’re interested in careers in public policy, research, or civil service.

    Best,

    Lisa

     

    Graduate Center Public Policy Career Fair.

    Date: Monday, October 22, 2018, 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
    Location: The Graduate Center, 34th Street and 5th Avenue, New York, NY, C-level

    Register: https://goo.gl/forms/7kx7LUMRLApQrOB73

    Our Fall 2018 career fair connects our doctoral and master’s degree graduate students with employers in government, non-profit, and policy sectors. The fair will feature both a traditional career fair with employers standing at tables talking to students, as well as presentations from individual employers.

    From 2:30-3:30 p.m., the Department of Citywide Administrative Services will present on the civil service exam, which is now necessary for many, if not most, types of positions with NYC government. The presentation will be tailored to the types of roles typically sought by graduate students.

    If you have any interest in the following issues, we strongly recommend that you attend the Public Policy Career Fair and speak with employer representatives from the relevant organizations.

    The justice system and protection of civil liberties (Center for Court Innovation, NYC Department of Investigation’s Inspector General for the NYPD, Vera Institute of Justice)
    Gender equality (Center for Reproductive Rights, UN Women Research and Data)
