Events
GIS Day is an international day of recognition for users of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). At Bloomberg School of Public Health, GIS day includes a poster session which invites faculty, students, and staff to share their experiences in GIS and highlight spatial analysis at the school, across the university, and in the greater Baltimore community. Attendants learn how spatial analysis is being integrated into our health research and practice.
