Hey guys, so I was reading up on this article that deals with animal abuse. It basically is a blog describing the difference between intentional and unintentional abuse towards animals. Something interesting the article mentioned were things like doghouses and leashes that someone wouldn’t really think of as abusive. As some of us have pets, I think it is good for us to know about the possible problems that can arise from mistreatment. Read the rest of this entry »

If you have been following the news lately, you probably know about the Steubenville cases where two young men were tried convicted of raping (though they also urinated on her and dragged her passed out body from party to party as well) a young woman at a series of parties over the summer. One of the young men faced an additional charge for using his cell phone to record some of the acts since the victim, known simply as Jane Doe, was a minor at the age of 16. Ever since the initial report of this case, there haas been controversy.

Steubenville is a huge football town – and both of the accused were football players. This meant that the town would inevitably be spit on those who saw through their athletic abilities into their crime and those who fought for the rapists due to their contribution to the football team. As much as I could talk about what is wrong here, my real focus for today is the report by CNN that sparked outrage in so many.

Hi LLC-ers!

I know many of you have already ‘liked’ my Facebook page for my re-election, but to take it a step further… I wanted to emphasize my background in leadership and as a public servant. Take a look:

As a native Virginian, Lauren Waldron has served numerous leadership positions for the past six years, acted as the voice for the people, and led the most diverse student body in her school district. Since the age of fourteen, Lauren was active in her middle school’s Student Government as Student Body President. She found her passion for leading and encouraging her peers to excel and succeed at their own personal goals and continued with her platform throughout her high school years. From freshman year until her junior year, Lauren had the advantageous role of being Class President. In her senior year, Lauren won her Student Government election as President of the Entire Student Body. Currently, Lauren is a part of the Leadership and Community Engagement Living Learning Community at George Mason where she is able to take a Leadership class and volunteer on and off campus to directly make a difference in the lives of others.
During the spring of 2012 as a senior in high school, Lauren helped her local mayor’s re-election campaign which began her political campaign work. It was her mission to help Roanoke Mayor David Bowers campaign by GOTV initiatives such as: preparing strategic regional phone calls, identifying voter information, and executing promotional tasks. Additionally, over the summer of 2012, she moved to Richmond to intern in the main Richmond headquarters for former Governor of Virginia and newly elected United States Senator Tim Kaine’s campaign. While interning, Lauren used my past political campaign experience to promote Kaine’s campaign by going door-to-door and distributing literature throughout the regions of Chesterfield and Midlothian, helped to assist the campaign staff at various events, and planned out strategies with the Regional Field Director to inform voters about Senator Kaine.
As a Senator in Student Government at George Mason University, consider it an honor and privilege serving the nation’s most diverse student body. Senator Waldron acted as a representation on behalf of the student body at the Virginia State Capitol and General Assembly to lobby for increased support and funding. As a Senator, Lauren has sat on four House Committees: University Services, University Life, University Relations, and M.A.S.O.N. Her goal for this year is to bridge the gap between the faculty and student body by enhancing a clear communication channel.
