Applications
Applications Closed October 15th, 2021 for 2021-2022 Mentorship Program applications.
Mentorship Program pairs have been chosen for the 2021-2022 cohort!!! This was an extremely hard decision since we had almost 50 mentee applicants and 25 mentor applicants with only 12 pairs to choose. All the applicants were highly qualified and those not chosen for the 2021-2022 cohort should consider applying for next years mentorship program. Additionally, there are still opportunities to network and get involved with the GIS community by volunteering on a planning committee, organizing a social event, or planning a workshop. Reach out to us if you are interested in helping coordinate some of these events. Thank you for your time and effort in applying.
