San Diego Mesa College's GIS Program
San Diego, CA, US

Industry: Higher Education
We had a great GIS Day celebration at San Diego Mesa College in November 2009. We hosted "The Amazing GPS Race" and had 10 high school teachers bring 300 high school students to our community college campus. Teams of students used GPS units and clue sheets to race to the finish line for prizes. We had a video team on site from ESRI making an educational piece about GIS use at Mesa College.

Michael Fitzgerald of Mesa College's Culinary Department baked up some yummy and amazing GIS cakes for volunteers, staff, and attendees. We are looking forward to our 2010 event.

See our cake photo on the cakes page.
