In 2025, Quartic created a scholarship for San Diego State University geography students which helps fund real-world experiences related to geography. Quartic president Timo Luostarinen is a SDSU graduate and SDSU’s geography department was foundational in igniting his passion for geography and GIS.
Dr. Richard Wright, SDSU (retired).
As an SDSU student, he had opportunities for multiple hands-on internship experiences. One summer, he walked every square foot of Crystal Cove State Park to create a vegetation map. Another internship involved mapping Tijuana Estuary tidal flows. “These real-world projects with practical applications of GIS are what contributed to my career growth and success,” said Luostarinen.
In addition to the scholarship, Quartic also funds a yearly lunch for SDSU’s geography department’s students, instructors, and alumni to connect and network.
