Miles College Student Trinity Collier Selected for Geospatial Intelligence Program
Posted By: Will Moss on June 08, 2026


Trinity Collier, a UJIMA Research Scholar at Miles College, has been selected to participate in a prestigious geospatial intelligence program, marking a significant achievement for the Birmingham-based HBCU student.

The selection highlights the growing opportunities for HBCU students in the specialized field of geospatial intelligence, which combines geography, technology, and data analysis to support critical decision-making in various sectors including national security, environmental monitoring, and urban planning.

Key Takeaway: This selection demonstrates Miles College's commitment to preparing students for emerging career fields in STEM and national security sectors through research programs like UJIMA.

Collier's achievement comes through her participation in the UJIMA Research Scholars Program at Miles College, which provides students with intensive research experiences and prepares them for advanced opportunities in their chosen fields. The program represents one of several initiatives at the historic institution designed to strengthen student outcomes in research and innovation.

Miles College, founded in 1898 and located in Fairfield, Alabama, is a private liberal arts historically black college affiliated with the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church.



The institution has maintained its commitment to academic excellence and student development for more than 125 years.

The geospatial intelligence field has become increasingly important in recent years, with growing demand for professionals who can analyze spatial and geographic data to solve complex problems. For HBCU students like Collier, such specialized programs offer pathways to careers in government agencies, private sector technology companies, and research institutions.

This selection adds to Miles College's track record of preparing students for competitive opportunities beyond graduation. The recognition of a UJIMA Research Scholar underscores the value of undergraduate research experiences in opening doors to advanced training and professional development.

As HBCUs continue to expand their footprint in STEM fields and specialized disciplines, achievements like Collier's demonstrate the caliber of students being developed at these institutions and their readiness to contribute to critical national priorities.
