Students are the future! They are the next generation of leaders, scientists, artists, and innovators. But their success depends on their access to opportunities to learn, grow, and connect with others in their field.
The Center for Geographic Information Science Research (CGISR) is the hub for spatial and geospatial scholarly and creative activities at Cal Poly Pomona. CGISR facilitates and supports collaborative and interdisciplinary GIScience education, research, and policy endeavors. CGISR facilities support the study of the most pressing societal issues, including environmental and socio-economic phenomena, by offering solutions in Geographic Information Science (GIS), Remote Sensing (RS), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, Machine Learning (ML) with spatial analysis and visualization, and cartography. Our mission is clear: to empower students, faculty, and staff to pioneer novel, polytechnic, and evidence-based approaches in GIS and geospatial technologies that propel knowledge forward and generate tangible benefits for society. CGISR actively collaborates with various departments and colleges within Cal Poly Pomona to ignite impactful geospatial research, secure grant-funded projects, and illuminate career paths in GIS. Beyond academia, we are committed to strengthening professional ties with local communities, governmental bodies, public agencies, and the private sector.

Here's how your generous donation can make a difference at Cal Poly Pomona’s CGISR, especially in nurturing our students’ research ambitions:
- Funding Student Research: Our students are eager to participate in research, but they often need financial assistance to do so. Your donation can help us to provide students with scholarships and stipends, travel grants for presenting their GIS research at professional conferences, and other resources they need to succeed in research and pursue their academic goals.
- Enhance our teaching and learning facilities: We are committed to providing our students with the best possible learning experience. Your donation can help us to upgrade lab facilities and to purchase new equipment and resources for students.
