When it comes to involvement, Lauren M. Mayer ’12 understands the assignment. As a student, she participated in multiple campus organizations, volunteering as an orientation leader, peer mentor and STEP Big Brother/Sister. She also held leadership positions as president of the National Society of Black Engineers, secretary of the Stevens Italian Club and public relations chair for Delta Phi Epsilon. Fortunately for Stevens, Lauren has kept up the pace, bringing her experience as a risk manager at Pratt & Whitney – and her school pride – to the Stevens Alumni Association and the Class of 2012.
