It was a great way to gain real world experience in the GIS field. My coworkers were amazing people and I felt very supported in learning.
What I wish was different
I would like to learn more about some of the other GIS departments within the company.

June - September 2021 • St. Cloud, MN
What I liked
The people were friendly and supportive. My team would do anything to see my learn and succeed. I really enjoyed that I had a manager that took care of logistics and made sure I had enough resources and was interested in my work and then also a technical mentor who reviewed my code with me and gave me tips.
What I wish was different
I wish I got to interact with a few more people, my team was small and I was working remote so I would have liked more informal meetings with coworkers. Otherwise, the internship itself was amazing.
Advice
Make sure you are getting what you want out of your internship. If you want to talk to people in a different area, just ask. Everyone is so accommodating and would love to block some space in their schedule to talk to interns and answer any questions.

Make sure to ask lot of questions and never rely on your knowledge. If you get stuck, ask people from other departments for help and you won't let be stranded.
