New student opportunties in GIST - Venture with SUNY Cortland
MCC has been awarded a $54,200 SUNY Innovative Instruction Technology Grant
to lead the creation of a virtual lab and virtual internship opportunities in
geospatial information science and technology (GIST). To be implemented as a
pilot at MCC and SUNY Cortland, the Open Geospatial Lab will complement the
online GIST courses offered at both colleges and allow program students the
opportunity to receive peer-to-peer and faculty support via technologies. The
project: Open Geospatial Lab and Remote Workforce Opportunities in Rural
New York State will also support MCC-led efforts to increase geospatial
virtual internships within rural areas of New York and develop a pilot virtual
internship, likely with a university in Colombia. Through collaborations and
creativity, this innovative project will make it possible for more individuals
to access geospatial education and virtual workplace opportunities.
The Dean wishes to recognize the important contributions made to this
proposal by the Grants Office working with Jonathan Little, the Principal
Investigator, and Christopher Badurek (SUNY Cortland GIST program), Co -
Principal Investigator.
