SPOTLIGHT
Lauren Mace
Alternate Senator
Hi everyone! I’m Lauren
Mace your GSO Alternate
Senator. One of the aspects
that excites me most about
my role is being a voice for
both the celebrations and
concerns that Steinhardt students have about NYU
as a learning community. I enjoy bringing broader
information about University happenings to our
school, and facilitating interactions among our students. One of my priorities as a board member is
ensuring that our activities are relevant to students
from all walks of life- part-time and working students as well as full-time students. In my free time,
I enjoy practicing new languages, reading, writing,
and collaging. Feel free to reach out to our board if
you have ideas about how to improve our student
government or NYU as a whole. Thanks for reading
and enjoy your holidays!
