"In recognition of Marinus of Tyre, father of mathematical geography, students need to: enroll in more geospatial science and mathematics courses as part of a life-long learning curriculum, know how to use a global positioning system unit, known fondly by many as a GPS unit, and know whether or not a hand calculator is giving correct answers."
"Research shapes teaching agendas; mentoring guides students toward reaching their potential; policy work has led to grants to support undergraduates; and administrative service focuses on how to better serve undergraduates."
