MSGISci Cohort 6 Students Win Story Map Competition at 2019 SCAG Regional Conference

Our congratulations go out to Kyle Chin, Gülben Kaplan, and Glen Shepherd, all representing Cohort 7 of our MSGISci program, for being the jury-selected winners of the Student Showcase at the 2019 Southern California Association of Governments Regional Conference and General Assembly.  The Student Showcase session is featured each year at the annual SCAG conference and provides students with the opportunity to share their sustainability planning posters and GIS story maps with more than 1,000 elected officials, planners, and regional leaders.  Winners of the Student Showcase are selected through a competitive application process, and students whose projects are chosen are designated as SCAG Conference Fellows.  The story map submitted by Kyle, Gülben, and Glen titled “Digital Freight Matching Technology and the Role of GIS” may also be selected to enter a subsequent competition in which four cash prizes totaling $6,000 will be awarded.
