Santa Rosa Junior College is offering a great new class, GIS 53 – Cartography in GIS

Santa Rosa Junior College is offering a great new class, GIS 53 – Cartography in GIS. This class combines the concepts and theories behind cartography with a practical application in ArcGIS. Students will learn how to create informative maps, which allows the message to be clearly interpreted. They will also learn tricks along the way to make even those simple "quick and dirty" maps more elegant.

The class is Wednesday nights 5:00 – 10:00 at the Petaluma Campus. The first day of class is this Wednesday, January 13th with a start time of 5 PM. Due to the current budget constraints roll will be taken promptly.

For the rest of the semester classes will begin with a lab between 5:00 – 6:30, thus giving us professionals a little leeway in getting to class prior to the start of lecture.

Please contact me if you have any additional questions or need to have the pre-requisite waived.

Thank you,

Kevin Lacefield
