Geospatial Innovation Program (GIP)

At the Geospatial Innovation Program, our mission starts with students. We prepare the next generation of GIS professionals—and professionals who use GIS—by immersing interns in meaningful, real-world projects. Interns collaborate closely with experienced staff and community partners, gaining practical skills while tackling real challenges across sectors. It’s a win-win: students develop market-ready experience, and our partners benefit from high-quality geospatial support at a fraction of the cost of traditional consulting.
