Abstract
Student-Created GIS Data as the Supplement to an Official Campus Map
Track: User Presentations - Administration and Policy
Authors: Andrew Pericak, Kimberley Klinker
For visitors or prospective students of an undergraduate college, the campus map can make a big first impression and sell the GIS opportunities available to students. This presentation will demonstrate the Geography Department’s efforts to supplement the University of Richmond’s official campus map with student-created spatial data, both in print and interactively online. We discuss our successes and challenges in helping the University recognize the value of adding GIS data to their map.
