Students in GIS 101: Geospatial Careers will develop important career skills and meet and interact with professionals in a variety of geospatial fields. Geospatial professionals will visit class each week to share their education and work experiences, offer advice for aspiring professionals, and discuss strategies for gaining experience in the field.
