Megan also talked about how NJIT recognizes the importance of learning and utilizing new technologies and software as critical skills necessary in producing job-ready surveyors and geospatialists. A great conversation with a dynamic young talent so check out what she has to say!

Dennis' career is one to behold! He spent over 30 years as a surveyor at the BLM and has plenty to say about the land survey profession. This time around we discussed the benefits of a multipurpose cadastre, the National Spatial Data Infrastructure, who maintains it, AR/VR and surveying applications, and where all of this goes from here! Dennis is a wealth of knowledge with a cutting edge perspective and we are honored to call him a friend. A few additional takeaways include...be as digital as possible, always focus on the evidence, you have to love your work and hold everyone in high esteem! Music by Ottmar Liebert & Luna Negra!
