Overview
GIS Day 2007 was November 14 and was a smashing success, if we do say so ourselves.
A number of interesting presenters and posters were contributed by students and faculty from several different departments and research shops on campus. Most of the posters are permanently archived in our own GIS Day collection in Purdue Libraries' eScholar repository. (Alas, the podcast won't make it).

Please monitor this page (or probably its feed) for information about next year's event, penciled in as a larger affair based on turnout this year.
