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!

    Dear all,

    The Python Users’ Group (PUG) is back for the Spring semester. For those who haven’t been in our meetings yet, it is good to know that we promote a casual and welcoming atmosphere (usually with some snacks), where people can chat about python, work together or just hang around. We have people in different levels of expertise with lots of beginners excited to learn about Python. Even if you have never done anything with Python, you are more than welcome.

    In this semester, we are going to be meeting the second Monday of every month, always at 6:30pm at the GC Digital Scholarship Lab (room 7414). Our very first meeting will be this upcoming Monday, the 11th. We will play around with the NLTK stopwords and try to figure out what is wrong with it. (if the last sentence did not make any sense to you, don’t worry, we will explain it over there).

    You can check our calendar and learn more about PUG here.

    Also, if you are interested in participate in our meetings, make sure to join our group on the commons. That is the place where we decide the topics to be discussed on each meeting and share other things.

    Hope to see you all Monday.
