From  a recent DePauw News story about the GIS Center:

"The first time you step into Beth Wilkerson’s GIS Center, you know you’ve found the right place. Except for her desk, a large-format printer and scanner, the room is covered with maps she’s helped to conceive. There are images from an animated map that shows the waxing and waning of Chinese dynasties, and archaeological maps created for the Collaboratory for GIS and Mediterranean Archaeology (CGMA), the project that brought Wilkerson to DePauw in 2002. Judging by her walls, most of the University’s academic departments have passed through her office at one time or another."
