I have been working with undergraduate student interns since 2017 in both field situations and in data analysis. There have been multiple hurdles, but also some terrific successes. One of the biggest lessons I've learned is how prepared I need to be to create a very robust layer for them to collect data within. It's very different from a layer I might create for my own use as multiple people will use it and need to interpret it without assistance. My goal is to talk about how I manage GIS interns and how I hope to improve this process in the future.
