Accessibility and Technology
UMBC Industry News
GIS permeates those parts of our lives that are often overlooked by the general population, and this is just one of the many aspects that UMBC’s GIS graduate program addresses in its instruction.
In this week’s Industry Roundup, we take a look at how Canada is working to create accessible maps for the deaf and hearing impaired communities by adding sign language to them. We also take a look at the impact of data recording blockchains, 3 women pioneers in bio being honored for their contributions, and a controversial concept in AI – manufacturing artificial people.

Paving a New Way in GIS Leadership
UMBC Student Success Stories
We sat down with Alumnus, Gabriel Borini, to learn how UMBC’s graduate program in Geographic Information Systems helped shape his GIS leadership skills.
Can you tell us what you loved most about the courses?
The instructors encouraged participation between the peers. Because of all the classmates that are in the program, everyone’s already a professional. So it’s a great way to start networking and learning GIS leadership skills. And I still maintain these great networks today.

Stories of Success
Liz Ducey, UMBC GIS Graduate Program
Initially, Liz Ducey came from a biology background with the goal of
working in environmental science. She went on to gain graduate
credentials and professional connections from UMBC’s Geographic Information Systems Program. Utilizing
her skills from the program, Liz became a geospatial analyst at a top
global consulting firm. She describes her experiences in the classroom
and the workplace, and the doors that the GIS graduate program opened
for her.
Realizing New Opportunities
Liz gained the skills to work on various types of data across
industries. She found that she could expand her horizons. Specifically,
opportunities to work in environmental science, public safety, renewable
energy, or fire and emergency services opened up with her knowledge and
credentials. After taking the Geospatial Intelligence Seminar taught by
a professor who worked at Booz Allen Hamilton, Liz realized a new
category of jobs was available to her. At her current company, she
applies her geospatial data analysis and
cartography skills. Liz works in different capacities within projects
for clients in these industries.
