Joshua Allen, 2004 Natural Resources Planning, followed his Humboldt experience with a few years of AmeriCorps service through the University of Oregon. Allen has recently started a new job, far, far away from Humboldt. He is now working for the Matanuska-Susitna Borough in Palmer, Alaska, as a planner. This position is an exciting move for Allen, as he is highly involved in projects that will shape the landscape of Alaska for generations to come, and he reflects upon the lessons learned at the HSU to implement lasting change.
