Contact with other cultures has transformed both his education choices and career choices. He has organized students at his university to participate in activities that focus on the United Nation’s Millennium Development Goals and to try to make informed choices about everything they do. Following his undergraduate work in international studies, he has since decided to focus his graduate work on public health and immigrant communities in the United States. His original intention was to find a way to return to Ethiopia to work in some type of international service. Raised bilingually and biculturally, he attended public elementary and high schools in the Pacific Northwest. His parents emigrated to the United States when he was eight years old. Lauren had not initially known where her undergraduate program of study would lead her she knew only that she thrived on making contact with individuals from other cultures, even as she came to know her own culture better. She also remains deeply engaged in international philanthropy. She is now part of a bicultural family in which she and her husband both are working to expose their children to the plethora of cultures around the world through travel and education. In graduate school, she met her future husband, an Indian national. These experiences helped her choose to earn a graduate degree in public health, as well as a graduate certificate in nonprofit management. Following graduation, she joined the Peace Corps and traveled to Cape Verde, where she worked in family health. Upon her return, she worked as an intern for an international nongovernmental agency and, as she completed a political science degree, made plans for a career in the areas of philanthropy and leadership. While an undergraduate, she arranged with one of her professors to conduct an independent research project and traveled to Liberia in West Africa for a summer. Lauren grew up in a suburb of Minneapolis, Minnesota.
