Picture of Laurel Lehman

Brief Biographical Sketch:

Laurel hails from Rochester, NY (aka where it's absurdly cold) and spends much time singing lady basslines on campus with her a cappella group or working with lights (and people) in various theaters around campus. Her interests tend to center on history, internet policy, and finding ways to incorporate bad puns, good puns, and Harry Potter references into as many conversations as possible. She refuses to believe that she is no longer a teenager.
