First-Week Introduction
For CODES 320 I hope to really polish up my research project so I can see some hard results in the near future. I want to receive more interactions between Cahokia community members so I can learn more about the area. I want to gather more responses for my survey, so I have more data to publish on my website. I also hope for the website to gain exposure and be known as a help-guide for residents in Cahokia.
