GIS Mentors Program

The GIS Mentors program is a group of students who have demonstrated excellence in their geospatial classes, a willingness to help others in GIS education, and a desire to apply in support of research and professional opportunities.  

Students will be​ expected to attain a certain number of service hours through a variety of roles, which may include assisting others with GIS assignments and projects over web-based meeting applications, participation in mapping-related activities of the department and GeoClub/Youthmappers, and collaboration or contribution to faculty research projects. There is no ongoing payment for this role, though certain opportunities may have individual payments for services com​​pleted in that role. Mentors will also receive a certificate of recognition for their service.
