Lauren Schneider (she/her)
Arts Cohort Engagement Leader
Lauren is a second-year Bachelor of Arts student. After studying a variety of subjects, she decided to follow her passion for nature and pursue a major in geography and environmental studies. Through her time in the Arts Cohort, she was exposed to the wide variety of opportunities campus has to offer. She decided to involve herself with undergraduate research, becoming an active Research Rookie. Through this program, she learned valuable lessons that influenced her to present her work at multiple conferences. In addition, she was invited to share her first-year experience with the senate of TRU. Though she is studying a scientific arts discipline, Lauren is creative at heart and spends most of her free time creating crafts, baking, or drawing in her sketchbook.
