Mary F. Perrelli, M.A.

Mary Perrelli assists Buffalo State faculty and local professionals with GIS and she has participated in numerous on-campus workshops and ESRI training. She maintains the departmental computer labs. She has mentored GEG/PLN 430 (Senior Thesis) students in topics such as the use of GIS in town planning.  She also serves as the GIS technician on grants and grant applications which require the use of GIS/GPS technology. My teaching interests are in Geographic Information Systems and web mapping. Courses taught include: GEG/PLN 325 Maps and Map-making using GIS and GEG 485 Interactive and Web-based Mapping
