Thomas Kalonji is a senior in international studies with a concentration on Africa and a double minor in political science and public relations. He earned his associate degree in legal studies from Ivy Tech Community College in 2018. Rather versatile, he is a Manufacturing Skill Standards Council (MSSC) certified logistics technician and holds a certificate in airfield lighting systems for maintenance executives from the ADB Training Center in Zaventem, Belgium. He has traveled to several European and African countries and has visited a few US states.

After graduating from IUS in December, he would still like to work in the private sector or in an international organization or pursue a PhD in international affairs or political science. Thomas Kalonji lives in Jeffersonville, Indiana, and in his time off, he enjoys listening to gospel jazz and studying sacred texts.
