Thomas Bluj, MOL Class of 2019

Email: txb693@psu.edu

From: Parsippany, NJ

Undergraduate Degree: Ecology, Susquehanna University

What previous internship(s) or work experience do you have? Policy Intern with non-profit environmental company Field intern with the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission.

Why did you choose to pursue a MOL degree? To pursue a wide array of professional opportunities by combining my STEM-Science background with a prestigious business education.

What has been your favorite aspect of the Smeal MOL degree thus far? Being able to explore and appeal to companies/positions I would never have a chance of pursuing with just my undergraduate degree. (Tailgates with our class were pretty fun too.)

What are your career goals and how will this MOL degree set you up to achieve those goals? Still exploring… searching for management trainee/leadership immersion programs, environmental consulting and environmental project management.

What is an interesting fact about you that we would not find on your resume? My happy place is off the grid. Whether it’s on the water or in the woods; to me there’s nothing better than escaping the modern world for a little while.
