Podcast: Attracting Students to be the Next GEOINT Workforce
The opening sessions of this year's GEOINT Conference had a running theme: the need for new, well trained workers to fill open jobs within the industry. The need was echoed by all the morning speakers in particular, Rep. C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger, D-Md, who wants to make a "local push" for geo-education. Editor in Chief Joe Francica attended the sessions and swaps ideas with Adena Schutzberg about how to get young people involved in science, technology and geospatial technologies for GEOINT.

Education Tidbits
A guest column in the University of Montana paper touts the reasons to study geography. GIS is mentioned, but in passing.
The Department of Geography at The University of Montana is developing and adding new courses that reflect the status of the world on all levels. And an understanding of international topics is not the only realm of learning. Analysis of environmental and social issues as well as studies in geographic information systems (GIS) an important tool in many jobs, cartography, community and environmental planning, water issues, human impact on landscapes, mountains and climate are among the department’s many offerings.

The Idaho State University history department received a $1,290,704 “Understanding Social Networks within Complex, Nonlinear Systems: Geographically-Integrated History and Dynamics GIS”
- press release
"With regards to his curiosity regarding my job title, I can confirm that we (GIS technicians) are a relatively new “species” that first came about just over 10 years ago." That's from a letter to the editor in response to a letter that questioned the title. Nice to see a proud GIS technician educating others.
