Each year the Spatial Sciences Institute organizes USC Spatial Studies undergraduate students, graduate students and faculty in celebration of GIS Day, demonstrating real-world GIS applications making a difference in society. Save the date of Tuesday, November 12, 2019 to celebrate the 2019 GIS Day with the Spatial Sciences Institute.
The SSI 2013 Balloon Launch was one of 1,000+ events in 98 countries around the world. The 2014 GIS Day celebration featured the intersection of GIS and archaeology with a demonstration of spatial data acquisition techniques as if students were on an archaeological dig.
