Support of Geographic Education
The GC Geographic Research Commons supports the development of undergraduate research opportunities in several geospatial fields, and enables classroom and interactive learning across several disciplines and courses.  The courses in Geographic Information are an integral part of the Bachelors degrees in Environmental Science and Geography, and Masters degrees in Biology and Secondary Education.  Many students from this program go on to graduate schools and careers in fields that feature geographic skills and training.  A partial list of our recent student research projects includes:
