A note posted on the NWTribalGIS listservefrom David Gadsden, an ESRI employee:
Every User Conference ESRI has a student volunteer program where students from all over the world with an interest in GIS spend the week in San Diego and help pull off the biggest GIS conference in the world. This is typically an amazing experience for students both to participate in the conference and meet other volunteers from around the world from diverse cultural backgrounds.
We would love to see more students from Tribes and Indigenous Communities in this program. Please share this link to the application with students in your communities with an interest in GIS. Tosca Hoffman who is copied on this message helps coordinate this program. Please direct any questions on the program to her.
