GIS Council

The GIS Council serves as a central body for advancing institutional engagement with GIS education through four primary functions. First, the Council supports curriculum mapping of core material in GIS to provide a consistent learner experience across the various offerings. Additionally, the Council explores ways to extend uniform cross-school credentials in both the graduate and undergraduate spaces, and the development of shared teaching content and modules to support consistent GIS pedagogy and learning across the schools. The GIS Council also serves to support and elevate GIS research through collaboration on grants as well as events and speakers designed to bring the Tufts community together around the theme of GIS. Finally, the Council serves in an advisory capacity to the Provost’s office on the approval of new programs and credentials in GIS.
