By: Tara LaLonde

A new poster display is present in the Donald W. Hamer Center for Maps and Geospatial Information. This display is entitled, “What Happened to High Schools During Philadelphia’s Education Crisis” by Joseph Grosso (B.S. in Geography) and Wenrui Cai (B.S. in Mathematics). This project was done in collaboration with a Bednar statistics intern with the Data Learning Center and a GIS Assistant with the Center for Maps and Geospatial Information. This project is about the education crisis in Philadelphia, defined by the mass closing of schools around 2012-2013. Come check out the display to learn more!
