GIS Day Nov. 14

ISU will celebrate GIS Day with an open house from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Wed., Nov. 14 in the Wood River and Little Wood River Rooms in the PSUB.

GIS Day is a global event aimed at teaching millions of people how they can use geography in their everyday lives. GIS (geographic information systems) represents computer software, data and solutions that are used by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide in government, education and business.

The traditional Northern Rockies Urban Regional Information Systems Association chili cook-off will spice up the GIS Day lunch. Entries will be judged in four categories: most appetizing, popular vote, hottest (while still tasting like chili), and judges' choice. Winners will receive Lodge cast-iron cookware. To enter a pot, contact Weber at webekeit@isu.edu.

All GIS Day activities are open to the public and no registration is required. For more information, chili cook-off rules and a schedule of events, visit http://giscenter.isu.edu/gisday.
