Tom Davidock
M.A. Environment and Community, 2003
Before coming to Antioch University Seattle, Tom Davidock finished his undergraduate degree in elementary education from Kutztown University in Pennsylvania. Davidock chose to pursue his graduate degree from Antioch to better enable himself to teach individuals about creating and participating in social and environmental change in their communities. As part of his Antioch degree requirements, he did a community action project at the Schuylkill Conservation District in Pennsylvania.
"...I am constantly using the skills and information I learned at Antioch."
After graduating in March 2003, he returned to the conservation district to work as the coastal nonpoint pollution specialist.
Through his action project, Davidock was able to work on a community level developing environmental education (EE) curriculum, conducting EE programs and facilitating community environmental presentations. Now, as a full-time employee, he continues to educate the public on environmental issues relating to water quality and nonpoint source pollution.
"They called me back for this position," Davidock says. "Every part of my job – working with the community, educating students of different age groups, making presentations and marketing social and environmental change – I am constantly using the skills and information I learned at Antioch. By pursuing my master's degree in environment and community, I can now actively participate in making our world more sustainable. It is
one of the highlights of my life."
