He is a great role model for our program in that he is a man of possibilities. If there is a potential area to be explored, investigated and ultimately conquered, Ian is the guy to do it. He has demonstrated that he can get it done. Lauer has gotten it done in the classroom, too. Heading into this final semester, he carries a 3.4 grade point average and is a candidate for Academic All-America honors.
Most students have one or two things they do well.
Ian has three or four. He is a good researcher, a top athlete, and a talented actor. He could serve as a model for what students can accomplish at a liberal arts college like Wooster. Another area in which Lauer has found success at Wooster is track and field. He has run the first leg for us and has been an outstanding team leader.
