One of the most meaningful classes I took while at Macalester was Urban GIS. The semester that I took Urban GIS, our class partnered with the Northside Achievement Zone (NAZ) and produced a report to help inform decision-making and illustrate spatial trends in North Minneapolis.
The Northside Achievement Zone takes a holistic and intensive approach to narrowing the achievement gap by working with students from the beginning of formal education to college acceptances.
