Do you ever wish that you could have a weekly cup of coffee with like-minded surveying professionals? We are here to tell you that you can do just that – by participating in the virtual Mentoring Mondays program. This fantastic program is a weekly Zoom meeting featuring live Q&A’s on your favorite surveying topics. Every Monday, the forum is hosted by a rotating series of guest speakers who are am

ong the best in the surveying business. Think of Mentoring Mondays as the weekly “office hours” of the surveying profession. The meeting room is open and available to anyone in the profession who is looking to stay informed on current industry topics and trends or just needs a little more help understanding a specific topic within the profession. Recent Mentoring Monday topics include “Practical Management of Field Surveys” with Landon Blake. PLS, “Star*Net Adjustments” with Tony Cuomo, PLS, and “Drone Surveying 101” with Logan Campbell, CEO of Aerotas. A full lineup of exciting topics is planned for the year ahead. Register for the free weekly meeting with the click of a button on the Mentoring Mondays website. Are you interested in attending but cannot make the meeting? All meetings are video-recorded and uploaded to the website upon completion so that you can watch past meetings at your convenience. However, we encourage live participation; after all, this program was created to be a live and interactive Mentoring Program. While college students and young surveyors will benefit enormously from this program, do not assume that the word “mentoring” means this program is just for 20-year-olds. Instead, think of Mentoring Mondays as a free professional conference that goes on all year long. Anyone in the surveying profession will benefit from these weekly meetings and the chance to network, stay informed, and bounce ideas and questions off of fellow land surveyors. In addition to the weekly video feeds that are uploaded to the website, the site contains a wide array of podcast and book suggestions that any surveyor will find interesting and valuable. So, whether you are a freshman in college or a 50-year Professional Land Surveyor looking to contribute your wisdom and experience, we hope to see you at the next installment of Mentoring Mondays! If you are interested in being a featured guest speaker on Mentoring Mondays, or you need help with a specific topic, please contact [email protected]

Mentoring Mondays is back tomorrow!

Join us Monday, August 10 at 4 PM Pacific / 7 PM Eastern as Jerry Mahun, PLS presents an in-depth session on:

PHOTOGRAMMETRY — SINGLE VERTICAL PHOTO

This one will be especially helpful for anyone preparing for the FS, PS, or CST exams, but like every Mentoring Mondays session, it’s open to anyone who wants to learn.

One of the things I’ve been working hard on is making Mentoring Mondays more than just a Monday night Zoom room. I want it to be a place where surveyors can find the people, education, and resources they need to keep growing in this profession.

This week’s newsletter includes resources from:

📚 Jerry Mahun’s surveying education library
📖 Kyle Brook’s Survey Bible
🎯 Learn CST
🎓 NLC Prep
📐 WestFed’s FS Exam Review Series
🗺️ PLSS and continuing education resources
🎥 170+ archived Mentoring Mondays sessions
🎧 The Geoholics and Surveyor Says podcasts
📰 The American Surveyor, LiDAR Magazine, and xyHt Magazine
📅 Our national surveying events calendar
🔎 Research tools, networking resources, and more

There is so much great information already available to our profession. Sometimes the hardest part is simply knowing where to find it.

So take a look at the newsletter, save the resources that can help you, and share it with a student, technician, coworker, or surveyor who may need it.

And help me make the list better:

What am I missing?

If you know of a great surveying website, study resource, YouTube channel, podcast, publication, scholarship, training program, or educational tool, drop it in the comments.

The more we share what we know, the stronger our profession becomes.

See you tomorrow at 4 PM Pacific / 7 PM Eastern.

Happy July 4th!

This year's Independence Day is especially meaningful as we celebrate America's 250th birthday, a historic milestone honoring two and a half centuries of freedom, innovation, perseverance, and progress.

As we reflect on our nation's rich history and the countless individuals who have helped build the communities we enjoy today, we are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to that legacy through our work every day.

Mentoring Mondays wishes you, your family, and your friends a wonderful Fourth of July. May you enjoy the holiday safely, and if you're celebrating with fireworks, please do so responsibly.

Have a safe and happy Independence Day as we celebrate America 250!
