GIS Learning Community Forming at UC
Do you need to visualize your spatial data but don't know how? Do you have spatial data but dont know how to map it? Are you looking for guidance or have expertise to share regarding the analysis of spatial data? Are you an ArcGIS, A Q-GIS or other GIS program user and want to connect with other people who use these programs?
The Geography Graduate Student Organization and UC Libraries will host an organizational meeting at 3:30 p.m. Aug. 31 in the Geology-Mathematics-Physics Library (located just off Schneider Quad in 240 Braunstein - map) to discuss the formation of a cross disciplinary Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Learning Community.
The goal of the community is to create a user-driven forum for novice and expert practitioners alike to come together and discuss tools, resources and solutions to questions, as well as to explore new projects that develop as researchers consider the spatial aspects of their data. We invite interested individuals across all of UC to join us in building this community.
Light Refreshments will be provided. Visit this link to

UC’s student newspaper names Hajra Munir as new editor-in-chief
May 9, 2025
As a young girl, Hajra Munir, a second-year law and society major, had a passion for writing. “I was always writing,” Munir said. “Whether it was in a journal, writing stories or writing poetry.” But Munir wasn’t sure how she could use her writing skills beyond her love for it, until she watched her brother join the student newspaper at Walnut Hills High School and decided to join him. Since then, journalism has become an integral part of her life. “I started news writing, and I absolutely loved it,” Munir said. “I felt like I could be who I wanted to be, and I felt like this is what I want to do, this is what I love. Journalism has made me such a more confident person, and I wouldn’t be where I am without writing, without starting my love for journalism.” Now, going into her third year at UC, Munir will serve as The News Record’s (TNR) next editor-in-chief for the 2025-2026 school year. TNR is UC’s student run news organization, where students themselves have opportunities to report on an array of topics, from breaking campus news to entertainment and lifestyle.
