Welcome
to my minute corner of the web. I'm Kevin
Shade, a graduate student at the School
of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana
University - Bloomington.
I am working towards a Master of Public Affairs
in Comparative and International Affairs. I
earned my Bachelor of Arts in Political Science
also from Indiana University in May 1999.

I
am originally from Salisbury, MD, on the
Delmarva Peninsula. If you have never been
there, you are missing a lot! Home to the best
seafood, friends, family (Hi Mom and Dad!) and
Assateague Island (if you are a local) and Ocean
City (if you are a tourist!). Hence the photos
of the water.

While
I was an undergrad at IU, I've expanded my
interests quite a bit. I began to SCUBA, and I
am currently certified as a Divemaster. It's a
great recreational activity. I also took courses
in the Russian language, and no, it isn't as
hard as it looks, but because of my interests, I
want to take Swahili.
