Education : Qualifications, High School & College Info

Graduating in 1985 from Holy Name High School, in Reading, Pennsylvania, Lauren went just down the street to earn a B.A. in English from Albright College. There, she fell in love with journalism after taking courses in the field. For one class, she trained a squirrel (with peanut butter) to appear as though it was using a typewriter. She filmed it to the song, “9 to 5” and submitted it as a documentary called, A Day in the Life of A.C. Squirrel.
In her junior year, she spent a semester abroad studying Spanish at the Universidad de Salamanca in Spain.
After taking a few years off to work, Lauren returned to school to earn her Master’s degree in Broadcast Journalism from Columbia University. She graduated in 1993 from the Ivy League School. During her time there, she was the winner of Albright’s Young Alumna Achievement Award.
