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!

Introductory GIS Workshops Fall 2018

  • Posted by Frank Donnelly on October 4, 2018 at 9:46 am

    Hello everyone,

    For the past several years I’ve been running day-long introductory workshops in GIS using QGIS, usually a couple times each semester. I’m running two sessions this semester; one on Fri Oct 26th that’s already full, and another on Fri Nov 16th that still has plenty of available seats. The sessions are held at the GIS Lab at Baruch and are open to all current CUNY graduate students, faculty, and staff, and to Baruch undergrads. Advanced registration is required and there is a small registration fee. Participants get a light breakfast and a detailed tutorial manual to take with them.

    More information and the link to register is here:

    Best – Frank
