2016 Student Poster & Paper Competition

The 2016 IMAGIN Student Poster & Paper Competition was held on April 5th at Constitution Hall in Lansing, Michigan.  Again partnering with the State of Michigan GIS Users Group Meeting, the Poster Competition was conducted in the morning with 11 posters being featured and displayed in the main atrium.  The graduate paper presentation was presented in the afternoon and was followed by a very informative round-table discussion regarding education, GIS, the needs the GIS community requires of recent graduates and the ways the GIS community can connect with the educational community.

The posters, paper and winners list can be viewed further down on this page
