Educating Legislators with Maps
A Smith College research team was recently honored for creating maps that were influential in the passage of legislation to change the state’s education aid funding formula.
Nathanael A. Fortune, associate professor of physics at Smith, was named to the “2006 All State School Committee” in recognition of maps that he, Amanda Nyren '06, and Jon Caris, Smith Spatial Anaylsis Lab coordinator, developed using the college’s Spatial Analysis Lab and GIS (Geographic Information Systems) technology.
