Come join us for our UCGIS Symposium poster session and reception at the Samuel Riggs IV Alumni Center. We have a great lineup of posters! Get caught up with other UCGIS members at this not-to-missed social event. This Center is just a short walk (10-12 mins, mostly a gentle downhill) from the ESJ building where Symposium sessions are being held. We will have shuttles to take you back to The Hotel, Cambria, and Marriott towards the end of the reception.
