ALT Intern spotlight. CSA has been working with student interns for nearly as long as we've been a center with the university. Our interns gain professional connections and sought-after work experience in the GIS industry. Meet David Dosher! "My degree is a BA in GIS. Through this internship, I have developed my skills with converting legal descriptions into polygons using the COGO tools and using different toolsets to edit shapefiles. The most rewarding part is to be able to practice using tools and techniques that were not covered in class and having knowledgeable coworkers to help speed up the learning process."
