GIS Day was held on Wednesday, November 16, 2016 at the Air Command Mobility Museum in Dover. GIS Day is always held the Wednesday of Geography Awareness Week. Eight schools with 302 students received a hands-on tour of the GIS industry. Thank you to all our sponsors and volunteers for such a successful event and a special thank you to The Honorable James Collins, CIO of the Department of Technology and Information, for your time in visiting our GIS Day Field Trip!
