Learn more about the <a href=\"https:\/\/uky-gis.github.io\/\">opportunities and successes in mapping<\/a> at the University of Kentucky and consider getting a Masters in Mapping or a graduate certificate in open source mapping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How will this impact outrageGIS mapping? Not much. The topographic map shop will continue as normal and I will still explore and make unique maps and data for Kentucky and surrounding areas. The main change will be a deprioritizing client work in favor of university projects. For example, this year is the <a href=\"https:\/\/geography.as.uky.edu\/galleries\/early-years-uk-geography-and-campus\">75th Anniversary of the Department of Geography<\/a> and is a priority project. outrageGIS mapping will also support the department&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/geography.as.uky.edu\/cartlab\">Pauer Center for Cartography<\/a>, so if you need a custom map we can make through the Center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am happy and proud to announce that I have accepted a faculty appointment as Lecturer in the University of Kentucky Department of Geography.
