HP awarded a grant to the college to help fund the project. Jim Vanides, Program Manager – Worldwide Higher Education Philanthropy, Hewlett-Packard says, “Meg is the PI for a 2004 HP Technology for Teaching grant received by Vassar. The project, Mobile Mapping Using Tablet PCs and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in Field-based College Courses, is a great example of field data collection using GPS, GIS, and Tablet PCs.”
