Professor Jon Caris, Director of the Smith College Spatial Analysis Lab, will join us at Channing House in Palo Alto to educate us on his work in developing a drone code of ethics, and the history of drones at Smith College. PLEASE RSVP so we can plan for an accurate head count.

Many of Professor Caris’s initiatives build upon the notion of making invisible, visible. He enjoys creating conditions that afford opportunity to see through a spatial lens, prompting new questions and discussion. Primarily trained as a geographer and environmental planner, Professor Caris received a M.S. in Geo-Environmental Studies from Shippensburg University and a B.A. in Geography from SUNY Geneseo.
