A group of UM-Dearborn students are creating a plan to help a Metro Detroit community see the future \u2014 or, more accurately, get a visual of it. Five students in geology professor Jacob Napieralski\u2019s Geographic Information System (GIS) capstone course are working with Dearborn city government, non-profit organizations, and community groups creating digital maps to assist with the expansion of the city\u2019s tree canopy, evaluate locations for city bike lanes, and more<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UM-Dearborn is one of seven universities across the nation selected for the award.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
