Alum John ’22 says, “the company I work for is looking for a recent graduate for a summer GIS intern (paid of course) and I would love to share it in the UMW geography group! We are just looking for people with experience with “mapping and visualization & ArcGIS Pro” which I know is something everyone in the GIS program has. I would say experience with model builder or other map automation methods would be a plus skill, but really the ability to learn new skills is most desired trait.” https://www.motivf.com/careerposts/geospatial-gis-intern
