University of Delaware GIS DAY 2019

University of Delawares GIS Day 2019 was held November 13, 2019.  This is an annual event designed to showcase the use of geographic information system (GIS) software applied in research by University of Delaware faculty, staff and students.  This year, three research assistants from the Center for Community Research & Service presented posters summarizing investigations produced during their undergraduate public policy fellow and graduate assistant research.  Topics included evictions in New Castle County, blood lead exposure in children, and opioid overdose rates.  These posters are now on display in the CCRS Common area, second floor, in Graham Hall.  For more information about GIS day, visit https://sites.udel.edu/gisday/
