Spring 2009
May 22: Annual Careers in Geospatial Technology Panel
Cramer Hall, room 413, 3 ~ 5 pm:

May 29: Geocaching!
The Geospatial Information Society (GIS) Student Organization (an ASPRS student chapter)
in collaboration with the Friends of Geography (FOG) is holding a geocaching event at 3pm
on May 29th, 2009.
Geocaching is an outdoor treasure-hunting game in which the participants use a Global
Positioning System (GPS) receiver to seek containers, called "geocaches". A typical cache
is a small waterproof container (like a film canister).
Along with the latitude and longitude, we are including historic/background information
about the location and its interesting features. The goal of this event is to raise
awareness of remote sensing and the geography of Portland.
Meet at 3:00pm in Cramer Hall room 413 to learn about GPS, bring your own GPS unit or
borrow a unit if you need one, learn how to use it, and go over the rules of the game.
We'll be outside by 3:30pm, dress appropriately!
