Esri (https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.esri.com%2Fen-us%2Fwhat-is-gis%2Foverview&esheet=54567502&newsitemid=20260708293015&lan=en-US&anchor=Esri&index=1&md5=db12c5099b567066a2622c8fd5324406) has released The Spatial Edge: The Strategic Advantage of GIS Skills Across Higher Education (https://www.esri.com/en-us/esri-press/browse/the-spatial-edge?aduc=Public_Relations&aduca=DG_Esri_Press&aduco=press-release&adum=Press_Release&adut=the-spatial-edge&cid=67fff4dd6e1dbb19a2972cb8_the-spatial-edge&sf_id=7015x000001PCxvAAG&utm_activity=esri_press%3A_book_promos%3A_press_release_-_link_collection&utm_campaign=DG_Esri_Press&utm_content=press-release&utm_id=7015x000001PCxvAAG&utm_medium=Press_Release&utm_source=Public_Relations&utm_term=the-spatial-edge), a practical and accessible guide that demonstrates how geographic information system (GIS) technology can unify campuses academically and operationally.
While GIS is often associated with disciplines such as geography, planning, and environmental studies, The Spatial Edge expands that view through real-world case examples. The book shows how spatial thinking can connect departments; strengthen decision-making; and help institutions address complex challenges across teaching, research, and campus operations.
Designed for administrators, educators, and campus leaders, the guide highlights GIS being used across higher education to:
· Enhance teaching and student engagement
· Advance interdisciplinary research
· Improve campus planning and operations
· Strengthen community partnerships
· Prepare graduates with in-demand geospatial skills
From the classroom to facilities management, The Spatial Edge illustrates how taking a geographic approach creates shared understanding and drives better outcomes across institutions.
This book demonstrates that GIS can bring campuses together by bridging disciplines, improving operations, and helping higher education organizations respond proactively to today’s challenges.
