SSU Summit on Environmental Entrepreneurship
On April 10, 2009, the annual Summit on Environmental Entrepreneurship, sponsored by Dionne Hoskins of NOAA and Savannah State University, was held at Savannah State in Thunderbolt. SAGIS was asked to attend and participate as a panelist, so we went to do our part. The format was interesting: each panelist gave a brief bio to the students, then the students were allowed to ask questions of the panelists. The students were from a variety of disciplines, from engineering to public administration. Many of the questions were specific to the environmental components of our individual jobs, but there were also thoughtful questions about the larger role of environmental issues in shaping current business-related applications and entrepreneurship. The topic of GIS was of utmost importance to the students, who were all looking for ways to use GIS for their particular interests!
