Academic Activities

The Center for Location Science provides education, training, and outreach opportunities to students, faculty, and our community of stakeholders. These efforts are devoted to the development of scientists who conceptualize location as a primary feature of the physical and social worlds. Another purpose of the Center’s engagement efforts is to raise awareness in the general public about spatial problems and their solutions. Some examples include:
