Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Initiatives

With organizations increasingly relying on location intelligence to make better decisions, the Singelyn Center has undertaken GIS initiatives with the goal of increasing the exposure to and engagement with GIS concepts, tools, and techniques among our constituents.

GIS Workshop Series

The Singelyn Center for Innovative Analytics organizes workshops on Location Intelligence with Geographic Information Systems. These introduce participants to business applications of GIS, along with hands-on learning using leading edge GIS tools: ArcGIS Dashboards, ArcGIS Insights, and ArcGIS Business Analyst. These workshops have been led by Dr. Mehrdad Koohikamali, former co-Director of the Center, and featured guest presentations by professionals from ESRI.

GIS Day Celebrations
