POTSDAM -- SUNY Potsdam Professor of Geology Dr. Michael Rygel has been honored with the 2019 GIS Champion Award by the New York State Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Association.
Rygel's award was presented at NYGeoCon 2019, the association's annual meeting and the state's premier conference on GIS.
The GIS Champion Award recognizes exemplary support of the GIS profession and of the value of GIS technology in society.
Rygel was honored for guiding the creation of SUNY Potsdam's new baccalaureate program in geographic information science, which accepted its first students last year.
Rygel recognized the need in the profession for undergraduate students trained in GIS, and saw an opportunity for SUNY Potsdam to serve that need.
