About RUGIS – RUGIS

What is RUGIS?

RUGIS is the Rutgers “chapter” of the University Consortium for Geographic Information Science (UCGIS).

Rutgers is a member of the University Consortium for Geographic Information Science (UCGIS), a non-profit organization that creates and supports communities of practice for GIScience research, education, and policy endeavors in higher education and with allied institutions. RUGIS meets once a semester to discuss matters relating to UCGIS initiatives, and gives people from different units in the university an opportunity to share and discuss GIS related information and experiences.

The UCGIS delegates from Rutgers are:

Åsa Rennermalm, Department of Geography
David Tuloch, Department of Landscape Architecture

When is the next RUGIS meeting?

RUGIS meets once in the fall semester and once in the spring semester (usually in the first week of October and the first week in March). Specific date, time, and location will be announced on the RUGIS mailing list. All are welcome to attend. Please contact David Tuloch if you would like to have your email address added to the mailing list.
