Who Is the QGIS Academy?

The Academy is a consortium of colleges and universities who are deeply  
committed to bringing open source GIS education to students and educators  
throughout the US and beyond. The Academy is housed at Del Mar College (a  
SACS accredited college) and was created with funds from the US National  
Science Foundation and US Department of Labor through grants awarded to  
Del Mar College as the GeoTech Center (2008-2013) and the National  
Information, Security and Geospatial Technology Consortium (NISGTC).  
University faculty from Texas A&M University—Corpus Christi, Green  
Mountain College, Central New Mexico College, and American River College  
contributed to the content of the courses as subject matter experts in  
building the theory and lab material.

Who Teaches the Courses?

The Academy hires the same experts who created the material to teach it.  
These include professors at major GIS colleges and universities as well as  
working professionals certified as GISPs. They are all respected and  
experienced educators and GIS professionals. Your instructor might include:

Kurt Menke
Nate Jennings
John Van Hoesen
