Abstract
AbstractDedicated to designing and organizing student-centered work, we highlight the Geomatics Engineering Students’ Association of Nepal (GESAN)’s collaborative effort to create training, internship, and job opportunities for the student members and alumni and with local institutions. Through putting into play a cycle of leadership, chapter activities find a sustainable way to continue to support SDG 8 Decent Work and Economic Growth and SDG 9 Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure by preparing students to navigate newer applications of geospatial technology and tools. This work extends beyond campus and into the local community where we have trained secondary school students in map literacy – planting seeds of future leadership.
