The MS GIS and GEOINT programs host the MS Capstone Symposium biannually, offering students a platform to present their capstone projects as the culmination of their graduate studies.
This fall’s symposium featured online lightning talks on Nov. 12 and an in-person poster session on Nov. 14. Ronda Schrenk, CEO of the United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF) attended as a special guest.
The symposium showcased a diverse range of student projects on topics related to the application of GIS, spatial analysis, modeling, remote sensing, data mining and more through independent research or design work.
Congratulations to all MS GIS and GEOINT fall graduates on earning their degrees!
