Hello...

My name is Lauren Stauffenger and I am a junior journalism major at Ohio University with a specialization in social work. I am originally from a small town in Northeast Ohio where many of my family and friends still reside. Growing up there, I learned a lot about community. That same sense of community is present in the small-town life of Athens, OH. I love it here, but cannot wait to see what else there is to see after I graduate.
