Hello CED230!

My name is Thomas Klinikowski and I am a junior at Penn State majoring in Community and Environmental Development (CED). I am a local meaning I was born and raised in State College, PA, so I've been a Penn State fan long before I started attending this school. I am really interested in not only international development, but domestic development as well. When I graduate from Penn State I either plan to enroll in grad school, or join the peace corps. I would really like to study abroad in a developing nation with the hopes of gaining some skills in bringing communities together before I graduate and enter the real world. I would really like to work with struggling communities in the United States as my profession, but only time will tell what I actually get involved in! Taking CED230 is another step in the direction I want to head in life, and I am very excited to be a part of the coarse. I have a feeling that this course will be very beneficial in providing me with the right information I need to learn about the ways different communities operate across the globe. Outside of school I enjoy skateboarding, playing guitar, as well as listening to many different genres of music.
