Today, I own my own GIS (Geographic Information Systems) company employing 15 people, most CCSU GIS Geography graduates and my company have work in the GIS field all over the world. The field of GIS is large and expanding and I cannot find enough experienced graduates to work in the field. I would encourage anyone thinking of coming to CCSU to consider GIS and Geography...and I will employ them immediately upon graduation!
