Lauren, who is graduating this December with a degree in Allied Health Sciences, sits at the edge of Mirror Lake, reflecting on her undergraduate years.For the first time of her last semester at UConn, she visits her favorite place to eat on-campus, Dog Lane Cafe. She says she almost always orders their famous vegetarian chili.It was a very emotional moment for Lauren as she sat down and learned of her acceptance to the Chiropractic program at the University of Bridgeport. She will be attending graduate school there starting in the Spring of 2015. Although she has an endless stream of great memories as an undergraduate student at UConn, she looks forward to the future and starting her career.
