Each Wednesday throughout the year, a visiting scholar or professional or an ESRI staff member is invited to present a one-hour talk on any GIS-related topic. The colloquium series provides students with essential exposure to both research and professional frontiers in the field. Colloquium attendees learn about exciting new research results, important government programs, and yet-to-be-released software products. Presenters have included Roger Tomlinson, Carl Steinitz, Waldo Tobler, Michael Goodchild, the late Hugh Calkins, Jim Geringer (former governor of Wyoming), and Karen Siderelis (the first federal Geographic Information Officer).
