Students gathered on GIS Day this year to explore resume writing, job searching, scholarship opportunities, and the power of professional networking. If you weren’t able to attend but would like to view the slide deck, please contact [email protected].

Sharon Janzen, Maps, GIS & Geospatial Data Specialist, encouraged students to make the most of their student status by accessing the many online learning resources available through the university’s ArcGIS Site License. Emily Rollo, Career Education Specialist, shared practical strategies for strengthening resumes and navigating the job market. Sonia Dhaliwal, Research Data Librarian, added to the excitement by spotlighting Student Voices, a feature in the ACMLA Bulletin, a trade publication released twice a year.

Attendees enjoyed cake, pizza, and a chance to make buttons to take home—always a GIS Day favourite.

Mark your calendars for next year: we’ll celebrate GIS Day on Wednesday, November 18, 2026!
