STUDENT SPOTLIGHT AWARDS
The following students were chosen to highlight their current GIS internship experience.
About Jack: Congratulations are in order to Mr. Jack Gibson, our first internship spotlight. Jack has secured an internship with Orange County Public works in sunny Orlando, Florida. Jack is a graduate of the University of Central Florida. During his internship, Jack will be working a variety of tasks. These include creating python scripts to update stormwater models and also for tasks in the traffic division.
He will also be creating training tutorials and teaching at least one of the courses. It sounds Jack is going to have a very busy semester! Congratulations on being the first Fall Spotlight. Keep up the good work!
About Jay: Our second internship spotlight is Jay Johnson. In May 2006, Jay earned my AA from Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College then moved to Liberty County, Georgia where his wife was serving in the Army. He spent the next year and a half as an Army husband before he started working for the Liberty County Board of Assessors as a Mapping/GIS Technician. Jay is responsible for creating, correcting and maintaining tax parcel data from real estate deeds and plats using a GIS. He also provides technical mapping assistance and support to department personnel. During the past 5 years, he has played a key role in developing Liberty County's public facing web application for tax parcel information. Currently, Jay is working on creating an address point feature class that can be linked directly to each residential and commercial improvement in the County's Computer Aided Mass Appraisal (CAMA) system. Upon completion of the GIS certificate program, Jay plans on submitting my application for GISP. The Online GIS team had the pleasure of meeting Jay at the ESRI's Southeast User's Conference in Jacksonville, FL. Way to stay involved in the community and welcome to the club!
Stay tuned for next week's spotlight!!
