Next up in our Senior Spotlight we have Lauren!
Lauren is graduating with a BA in Criminology and International Studies! After graduation, Lauren will be taking a break from academia and pursuing a job in non-profit policy work relating to the criminal justice system and justice involved individuals. She will eventually be pursuing a postgraduate degree in either Criminology or Law to help further her goal of change-making! Way to go Lauren!
While at TCNJ, Lauren served as an Orientation Leader in the Office of Student Transitions for 3 years. She was also an HSS-099 Peer Instructor her junior year. As a member of Alpha Phi Sigma (Criminology Honor Society). she has represented the Department of Criminology at countless Lions Days and Accepted Students Days. She also attended LeaderShape in the Winter of 2023, served as Vice President, Secretary, and Freshman Representative of the Commuter Collegiate Union, and founded a soon-to-be recognized student organization Fan Favorites. Wow!
Let's take a look back at some of Lauren's favorite BSC memory:
"My favorite BSC memory was during my first semester as a Building Assistant, I worked during the CUB Winter Wonderland event and it was simultaneously the most fun shift I had, because I had amazing coworkers Matty, Maddie, Alisabeth, Sammi. It was also one of the hardest shifts because there were so many people and so much happening in the building but it really was a great night.
As one final BSC shout out, Lauren would like to give a big thank you to a whole bunch of folks: "I would like to give the biggest shoutout to my favorite managers during my time as a BA, Dan Bradley and Matty Vira, who showed me it was possible to successfully pursue a manager position. Also a huge shoutout to all my other Spring 2023 managers who welcomed me into our little family and helped me countless times. The warmest hug to my BSC Big Maddie Lee and my Little Lily Drennan! And lastly just some shout outs for some of my favorite people who have helped to make the BSC feel like home for the last two years: Sammi, Larissa, Alisabeth, Lizzie, Sarah, Gianna, and sooo many more!"
We'll miss you Lauren!
