Testimonials

I found this first course of the certificate program to be very informative and hands-on , and just the training I needed to broaden and deepen my knowledge of the science and software. Fall, 2022

Thad is clearly very knowledgeable about GIS. He was very quick to respond to emails-which I found immensely helpful due to the online class format. I would have typically preferred in classroom experience….But due to the amount of change that occurred in my personal life at this time (I moved across the country to Nevada)…I greatly appreciated the flexibility of the online format.

I wanted to thank you for being a great teacher and further developing my GIS skills in the certificate course you teach at CCSU. The program taught me a lot and opened my eyes to the power and possibilities of GIS. Especially to start getting ahead of the curve with Online GIS, which I’m finding very helpful with many projects. My GIS skills/knowledge definitely helped me to get the position at CRCOG.

Hopefully, I’ll have some opportunities to work with you down the road on Statewide/Regional GIS projects. Once I settle into my new position, I’m hoping to get more involved with CT GIS groups and CCAPA. Fall, 2020
