After the NCAA, Lauren moved to men’s basketball in 2016 and assists with all preliminary round host operations, as well as game operations and student-athlete experience initiatives at the Final Four. She serves as a main point of contact for the thirteen preliminary round hosts during the planning of the tournament, coordinating all communication and tracking each site’s progress in the planning process. Lauren oversees areas of student-athlete experience including activations in the team hotels at the Final Four. Lauren also serves as a site representative during all rounds of the championship.
