Jack Dangermond (M.Arch 68), founder of the mapping software company ESRI, was on campus this week to give a lecture at the Humphrey Institute and tour the College of Design as the first Distinguished Visiting Fellow of the Institute on the Environment. During his lecture, Dangermond described how maps tell stories that motivate action. With available cloud technology in cellphones and tablets, users can now democratize spatial information. Dangermond paid tribute to his mentor at the University, Professor Emeritus Roger Martin.
