Calling all aspiring cartographers and spatial thinkers!
Interested in developing your map-making skills? Have some spare time during Senior Week?
The Spatial Analysis Lab would like to invite Smith students, faculty, staff, and community to join us for a series of informal mapping workshops Tuesday – Friday of Senior Week (5/12-5/15). The workshops are open to all skill levels and can be made more or less rigorous based on what you want.
The workshops will be held in Sabin-Reed 104 from 2PM – 4PM each day. While this is the officially scheduled time, you can feel free to join us early or stay late to continue working.
If you plan to attend one, two, three, or all four of the workshops please fill out this quick form to let us know so we can plan accordingly.
