We’re pleased to invite you to participate in our GIS Fundamentals Workshop Series, offered by the Clemson Center for Geospatial Technologies.
These workshops provide a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience with GIS concepts, software, and techniques. Designed for all skill levels, they help you acquire valuable GIS skills that are highly sought after in both research and the job market. No prior experience is needed—our workshops start with the basics. Plus, they’re free and open to all Clemson students, faculty, and staff. Last year, over 4,400 participants registered for our workshops!
This fall semester, we will mainly use ArcGIS Online for our GIS Fundamentals Workshop Series, which promises to empower attendees with the latest state-of-the-art technology accessible through any device (Mac or Windows). We will highlight five essential topics that guarantee coverage of all the GIS fundamentals. Workshops can be attended online or in-person at Cooper Library.
