Meet Lauren Brownridge, Senior Electrical Engineering Student

Lauren Brownridge is a delightful young lady who possesses boundless energy, a compassionate spirit, and scholastic focus and drive. She hails from Aurora, Illinois (near Chicago). I asked her how she heard about North Carolina A&T State University, and she replied that her high school calculus teacher had given her a brochure about the university and that she and her father visited the campus during her spring break. They arrived on a Sunday after visiting another university in the area, parked in the empty student union parking lot and pretty much began an unguided tour on their own. Lauren also shared that they were pleasantly impressed to find that a group of young men playing basketball near Moore gym were more than willing to stop to chat and to answer all of the questions that they had at the time. After finishing their tour, and maybe even before, Lauren was in love with what she saw and felt that day.
