Looking for a GIS Mentor

AWildHealy — Sun, 29 Sep 2024 22:26:25 GMT

Hello All!

It's so lovely to be in this community. I am new to the YPN program and I'm excited to be an ambassador in the future. I am a new GIS graduate student, I have a background in geography and anthropology 🙂

I am looking for a mentor to guide me with GIS-- Is anyone taking mentees? Hopefully in New England, if we can meet in person, but I am also okay with remote mentorship. My introduction is in the networking space, if you'd like more information about me!

Hi @AWildHealy - URISA Mentor Network applications are open until Oct 15 to sign up for a mentor! This is an excellent program where they pair mentors and mentees specifically in GIS. Here is the website.
