Join us for an exciting information session about Virtual Geospatial Information Science Technology education presented by Wayne D. Howard, GIS instructor at Monroe Community College. Wayne will provide a short introductory lesson in GIS to show what an interesting and rewarding career it can be. His presentation will include an overview of MCC’s new 9-credit GIST micro-credential program and a short hands-on exercise using GIS. This presentation is geared to those interested in MCC’s micro-credential program. In addition to instructing at MCC, Wayne is a GIS Analyst/Project Manager and Co-owner of Solara Concepts and works part-time as a GIS Analyst at Genesee River Watch. Don’t miss this opportunity to discover how geospatial information science is changing how we understand our world.
