Emily Sandrowicz Alumni Spotlight

Emily Sandrowicz Alumni Spotlight

This week, we would like to highlight the outstanding Capstone work of GIS Online MS in GIS Administration Alumni, Emily Sandrowicz!

Pictured below is Sandowicz's capstone  "The EC-SAR iCAMP (Eckerd College Search and Rescue interactive CAse MaP)."  





Sandrowicz says about UWF GIS Online MS Program: "As someone who is already comfortably settled in a GIS career, earning my masters was more about career advancement. While I'm comfortable with most GIS topics, I've never taken classes in management of finance, so broadening my knowledge base was the main goal."

Student Spotlight: Marquis Pickett

Student Spotlight: Marquis Pickett


This week, we would like to highlight Marquis Pickett for his outstanding leadership, work ethic, and positive influence in the online GIS courses he has taken with us this year.  

Marquis regularly offers his time to help his classmates on the discussion forum and during office hours with sound advice, encouragement, and tips. Multiple students have shared with instructors how helpful Marquis has been to them. In a recent post, he reminded his classmates to trust in themselves and their abilities while sharing his experience working through a lab assignment.  Marquis works diligently to understand the course materials and any questions he asks are backed by research on his part. There have been several instances where Marquis will revisit/rework an assignment he has already submitted to ensure he understands the topics and processes before moving on. The blog posts below is key points that are examples of Marquis' determination. Overall, Marquis is a standout student who is both professional and passionate about GIS. We're glad to have you; keep up the great work, Marquis!
