ASPRS Student Chapter/GIScience Club
The Kansas State University Student Chapter of the American Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) was founded in 2013 and provides students with an opportunity to learn more about, and interact with professionals in, the fields of remote sensing, geographic information systems, geospatial analysis, and related technologies. The chapter raises funds to support student travel grants and research awards and actively participates in activities sponsored by the Heartland Region of ASPRS. The chapter also coordinates with campus researchers and other student and professional organizations to invite visiting scholars to campus to discuss topics of interest to the geospatial science community.
About ASPRS
