GIS Around the Campus and Around the World The role of higher
education is to assist students in becoming effective thinkers
with the knowledge and skills that will lead them toward
becoming meaningful contributors to society. Geographic
Information Systems in higher education provide an integrated
solution to assist faculty and students with their educational
goals. GIS is no longer just for geography departments. By
putting information in the context of geography, GIS can be
applied across several fields of study to enhance learning and
teaching. GIS can give students the skills they need for careers
in health, marketing, environmental studies, engineering,
natural resource management and, of course, geography. More case
