The GIS Lab is an outgrowth of a partnership between the Pearl-Cohn 9th Grade Academy and Tennessee State University’s Geographic Information Sciences Lab, as well as the university’s Office of Service Learning and Civic Engagement. Dr. David A. Padgett, associate professor of geography at TSU, is the coordinator of this project.
