The spatial@uchicago discord forum is similar to slack. It's a forum to share geospatial announcements, RAships, jobs, and events across the UChicago network.

To join spatial@uchicago's discord forum, email spatial@uchicago.edu for an invite.

UChicago's GIScience newsletter summarizes spatial RAships, jobs, courses and events. It's designed for undergraduate students in the GIScience Minor but of general spatial interest.
