Faculty Adviser
Lauren Byland M. Ed.
Associate Director, Recruitment
My academic career began at California University of Pennsylvania. I majored in Industrial Psychology and graduated in 2000. Following graduation, I started working in the corporate world at Mellon Financial Corporation as an Operations Specialist before deciding to pursue my dream of becoming a student services professional. I went back to school at the University of Pittsburgh in 2002 and received my M.Ed. in Administrative and Policy Studies of Higher Education in 2003 while also interning as a Career Counselor for pre-med students in Pitt’s Career Services office. After grad school I worked at Penn State University as an Academic Advisor in the College of Business Administration for a little while before deciding to move back to Pittsburgh. My passion for working with students and Pittsburgh has brought me back here to the University of Pittsburgh and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work in the School of Engineering and with the Society of Women Engineers.
