Hello GIS practitioners and fans!

The GIS Student Organization (GISSO) would like to fill you in on the 2008 
Career and Networking Fair. The Fair is an annual event organized by GISSO 
to introduce students to employers in the GIS field. This year’s fair is 
coming up, so mark you calendars! Some particulars:

When:		Wednesday, April 2, 2008
			11:00 am to 4:00 pm
Where:		Mississippi Room
		Coffman Memorial Union

This year’s fair already has nearly 20 exhibitors signed up, including 
government agencies, academic institutions, and private companies. We have 
been able to attract more engineering and consulting companies than in the 
past, which we hope will provide even more diversity to an already wide 
range of exhibitors.

In addition, we will have several speakers again this year:

We’re especially excited to announce that Jack Dangermond, founder and 
president of ESRI, will be giving a talk and answering some questions from 
students. Terese Rowekamp with Rowekamp and Associates will be giving a 
mini tech forum on ArcGIS Modelbuilder. Len Kne, an MGIS student, will talk 
about his work on MIIM (Minnesota interactive internet mapping project), a 
web mapping application for education. Sally Wakefield, of 1000 Friends of 
Minnesota and Chair of the MN GIS/LIS Consortium, will be spreading the 
word about bridging GIS and the public mapping movement.

Oh, and we might have some door prizes again as well. We hope to see you 
there! (And feel free to pass on this invite to others who might not be on 
the mailing list)

Erik Olson
Vice President, GISSO
