Although she officially was an intern for part of that time, her performance was equivalent to that expected of any staff member. She was able to take on projects that were new to her and quickly learn what needed to be done. One of Lauren's main assignments was assisting with preparations for an annual week-long bicycle tour with 500 participants, which required considerable attention to detail and follow-through to ensure a smooth event. She excelled at this. She has very good writing and technology skills and an friendly telephone manner, as well as a wonderful sense of humor. If I weren't enjoying retirement so much, I'd love to work with her again!" and "As an urban planner and student, Lauren Alpert has proven her value and skills in public outreach and collaboration. I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing Lauren lead outstanding outreach efforts to community members for the Kinderhook-Stockport-Stuyvesant, NY Multi-modal Trail feasibility study. Her efforts included presenting findings of the study to members of the public and reaching out to landowners to understand possible conflicts if a trail is built. Lauren also proved her ability to foster collaboration as an executive board member of the 2009-2010 Graduate Planning Students Association. In many ways, Lauren was the glue that held the executive board together with her leadership and rational thinking. For these reasons and Lauren's passion for planning alternative modes of transportation, I highly recommendation her without reservations."
