Where are GIS Program Alumni?

Representing the wide diversity that Washington College has to offer, the alumni of the GIS Program are those who have spent time working here while as students at Washington College. The institutional memory of the staff runs deep with projects and experiences made possible through the work of some truly extraordinary undergraduates. Thanks to their experiences working at the GIS Program, many students go on to incor- porate geospatial technologies into their career paths. Some make a point of sticking in the technology field, getting a job right out of college with one of our partner organizations or clients.

Many of the alumni of our program, return occasionally to meet the next generation and speak to them. They also provide a resource for job opportunities, internships, Tyler Brice ‘13 worked College working on and the perspective that comes from working in their chosen fields.
