The highly competitive $2,000 AAGS award is presented to a student enrolled in a graduate program in geodetic surveying or geodesy, preferentially with at least two years of employment experience in the surveying profession. Before coming to UNB, Mr. White worked for several years as a crew chief for his parents’ civil engineering and land surveying company.
