Pathways to Geospatial Technology and Careers
The program is fostering education, research, and workforce skills by offering a series of intuitive year round workshops that promote spatial thinking, cutting-edge research internships in geospatial big data, and professional development programs for educators. In collaboration with a consortium of industry, new courses, programs, and out-of-the-box internships are being designed to create pathways in geospatial technology and careers.
BGCCCI attended the ASAP Networking event on Wednesday, November 7, 2018 from 3:00PM-5:00PM at Bronx Community College: Gould Memorial Library Rotunda
The event was organized in a way that students were able to meet and talk with professionals working in a field related to their chosen major. For instance, as the BGCCCI representative, I was sitting with students interested in technological fields. I was able to bring to their attention the courses (GIS 11 and 12) that we offer during the Spring and Fall semester, which can be taken on-campus and/or online. Some of them were very keen in learning how this technology can be used in their careers and once I showed them a 3D simulation of the BCC campus, they showed a lot of interest to take any of these courses in their upcoming semesters.
The Bronx Community College Geospatial Center of the CUNY CREST Institute (BGCCCI) attended the 2nd Annual GIS Jobs Fair on Wednesday, November 14, 2018 from 1:00PM-5:00PM at Hunter College.
The purpose of this event was to give geography and GIS associate, undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to meet and talk to professionals about experiences in their field of work and for students to submit their resumes to potential employers.

Honored to be invited by NASA to attend the NASA Mega Principal Investigators meet in Cleveland, Ohio. Met with amazing colleagues from across the country and engaged in great discussions with NASA officials. Great to meet MISTC team members and Roslyn and Diego. Felt amazing to be part of the 'WE GO' Panel discussion with NASA Administrators - Michael Kinkaid, Kenneth Bowersox and Dennis Andrucyk who shared their vision for Moon to Mars expedition.
Great to have a one-on-one with Michael Kinkaid even though if it was on a bus to NASA Glenn Center, meet with Torry Johnson, Daesha Roberts, Joeletta Patrick and Sharon Fitzgerald. Great folks Great Engagements!
Used the opportunity to highlight great work done at City university of New York - BCC campus through the BCC Geospatial Center of the CUNY CREST Institute [BGCCCI] and current federally sponsored programs funded by NSF-ATE and NASA-MISTC and the industry.
A rare opportunity to present at the EAS Conference organized by Global leaders Harris L3. Will be a pleasure to renew contacts with colleagues from Exelis [now Harris] and build new collaborations for the BCC Geospatial Center of the CUNY CREST Institute.
