As a double major in math and international studies with a minor in German, Lauren finished a Senior Project in math using group theory to estimate the number of permutations in a fifteen-piece game, and an international studies Senior Project concerning the implications of German reunification on the former cities of East and West Berlin.
What's more, a chapter of her second project is written entirely in German. It's an accomplishment made possible by Lauren's semester abroad attending the University of Cologne in Germany. "It completely changed my perspective, living with a traditional German family. It changed how I see other countries and my own. It's so important to see how other people live." Add in Lauren's contribution to Allegheny's Best Delegation-winning Model NATO team this past year in Washington, D.C., and her leadership position as education chair of Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority, and it's easy to see how a number of unusual combinations will add up to one outstanding job applicant.
It's our students who make Allegheny College the unique and special place that it is. Allegheny students have such a variety of interests and passions and skills that after a while unusual combinations don't seem so unusual at all. Will Allegheny fit your interests, skills and talents?
