Here’s what a few of this year’s graduates are doing … We’d like to hear and share news from other alumni, from all programs and years! Send a note to Barbara.Trapido-Lurie@asu.edu telling about your activities since you graduated. Corey Baker (B.S. Geography, August 2011) is working for ESRI, doing sales and consulting with ESRI’s San Antonio Regional Office as his base. As Corey explains, the focus of the position is to use his geography and ArcGIS knowledge consult with local and state governments to help them find the best technology for each level of the organization. He mentions that current initiative is having organizations leverage “cloud technology” to complement their already functional ArcGIS software. This allows even non-conventional users of GIS the opportunity to create, analyze, and distribute self-service maps and applications with their own specific content-rich data. Richard Brockmyer (MUEP, May 2011) is working as a Strategic Planner I with the Utah Transit Authority. He recently completed a full time internship with Salt Lake County's Planning & Development Services Department. As well as the MUEP, Richard earned the Transportation Systems Certificate.

Last spring, Chad worked in the Arizona Attorney General’s Office as part of the ASU Legislative Internship program, and he learned about the opening at Arizona Public Service through his experiences there. Adam Ricks (MAS-GIS, July 2011) is now a GIS Specialist with the Bureau of Reclamation’s Phoenix Area Office.
