Hi! My name is Sydnie Dempelein and I am a junior majoring in Community, Environment, and Development with the Community and Economic Development option; I am also pursuing a Leadership Development minor. With this, I hope to work in various large urban cities to help establish or develop non-profit programs that promote environmentally friendly city living.
I was born and raised in San Jose, CA (50 miles south of San Francisco). At Penn State I am involved in a business fraternity, Dance Marathon, and Penn State Outing Club. I love to hike and enjoy the outdoors in my free time. This semester is my first semester in the College of Ag. Sciences so I am eager to meet more CED students and get involved in more Ag. related clubs. I am looking forward to learning a lot about developing cities and communities and what we can do to help these places thrive!
Urban development and environmentalism is an awesome cross section of interests. Are there any particular non-profits you're interested in? Also, if you want to meet more CED students, there is a CED semester kick off on Tuesday Sept. 6th. Let me know if you want more info. :)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds awesome! I was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA myself, and think urban development and sociology are really cool fields.
ReplyDeleteI also wish to have a career that focuses on development in urban communities, and I am very interested in research methods that promote environmentally friendly city living as well.
