Each year the Geography department hires students to staff our GIS Help Desk; a departmental resource that provides free, one-on-one tutoring and guidance to students seeking assistance in GIS programs and applications. The GIS Help Desk is currently offering help in-person in the Jefferson Tower, sixth floor, on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. On Mondays, the GIS Help Desk is located in CUGA Corner, on the first floor of the Geography Building.
GIS Help Desk hours follow a University schedule. If the University is closed (or if the Geography office is closed), the GIS Help Desk may be unavailable. Hours may be limited or extended during midterms/final exams. GIS Help Desk Assistants operate on a first-come, first-serve basis during posted hours. If you require a virtual session, please reach out to the Help Desk Assistant during their posted hours.
Contact us with any questions, or call the Geography Main Office at 1-508-793-7336 for more information. The GIS Help Desk is sponsored by the Graduate School of Geography at Clark University.

Hi! My name is Wynnie (she/her) and I am a fifth-year student in the M.S. GIS program.
