Objective

The Prairie View A&M University College of Agriculture and Human Sciences has responsibility for training/exposing students and other clients to the latest developments in technology. GIS Day 2009 provides an opportunity for the college to partner with on and off-campus experts in order to meet this responsibility.

GIS is all around us, and we hope that this activity will increase awareness of its participants. GIS can help users:

· make better personal and professional decisions

· develop computer and map literacy skills and

· develop spatial awareness.
