Lessons Lessons Lear Learned ned Exceeded everyone’s expectation -New career in GIS&T? Challenges -No process to transfer grant funds of a Subaward to an international organization -United State banking forms were foreign to TC - TC perspective, time consuming to acquire VISA’s. -Although college took students abroad, there was not a process to use grant funds to purchase tickets. -Give yourself a lot of time to purchase airline tickets.

Main Main Impac Impact 1) Sustained Partnership with TC. 2) Virtual Internships with TC A) Assess changes in mangroves using remote sensing data. B) develop Python lab/translate Host: Comfenalco 3) New Virtual Internship Host Develop mapping app for citizens Host: Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de San Luis Potosí (Mexico).
