As of now, our Geospatial Institute will still be held in late July.  Watch future MGA newsletters for updates.



Due to a record level of interest, our summer workshop is full.  To be included on the waiting list, contact Austen Dudenhoeffer at 573-681-5155 or at DudenhoefferA2@LincolnU.edu as soon as possible.  

 We will learn various classroom applications of Geographic Information Systems, Remote Sensing, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (drones), Global Positioning Systems, and Google Earth!  We'll be meeting at Lincoln University in Jefferson City from July 26-31, 2020. 

All expenses are covered including ground transportation, room and board on the Lincoln University campus, and a stipend will be awarded after completion of the workshop.  Two continuing education credits are available for participants who participate fully in the workshop.
