What Does a Sustainable GIS Support Center Look Like?
Track: Teaching and Research
Authors: stacey stark
At a time when higher education programs are scrutinized and trimmed, how do we continue to grow sustainable GIS support centers? What are models for shared funding and revenue generation? I will talk about my decade-long advocacy for the growing Geospatial Analysis Center and non-faculty staff and reflect on the challenges and successes that have led to a GIS support and service center that is now successfully supporting academia, research, operations, and community engagement across campus.
