The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Community of Practice provides a venue for the campus community to share information, experiences, and ideas around GIS topics. We meet periodically for a presentation and discussion of broad general interest, and to provide a face-to-face forum for general knowledge sharing and networking with ones' GIS peers within the broader U-M community.
A wide variety of software and technology are used around the University to work with spatial data, such as ArcGIS, QGIS, R, Google, Tableau, MapInfo, MapIT, iGIS, Qualtrics, ENVI, ERDAS, Imagine, eCognition, lastools, Agisoft, Matlab, Microsoft Office, Adobe CC, and many more...
All are welcome in our GIS Community of Practice!

Workshops on a variety of GIS-related topics are offered regularly, sponsored by the Clark Library, LSA Technology Services, and CSCAR.
Members of the GIS Community of Practice use the spatial.gis@umich.edu mail list to share and discuss relevant topics between meetings. Message volume averages 2-3 emails a week.
Membership in the group is self-managed through Mcommunity. After logging in with your umich account, look for "Join Group" near the top-left. You can also leave or resign from the group from here as well. (Managing Your Membership in MCommunity Directory Groups)
