Lauren Richman • Year: Class of 2011, A&S • Major: History of Art, French and Studio Art minors • Hometown: Chicago, Ill. • Organizations: The Music Group, Fashion for a Cause, Vanderbilt University Fine Arts Gallery, Chi Omega

As co-chair for The Music Group, Richman has the difficult task of creating a diverse lineup for the Rites of Spring music festival, and this year’s two-day events are scheduled to kickoff with the Battle of the Bands winner today at 4:05 p.m. on Alumni Lawn.

How much of a challenge was planning Rites of Spring this year? Planning Rites of Spring proves to be a unique challenge each year. The Music Group is often faced with difficult deci- sions, quick deadlines and various obstacles in terms of the booking process. Our biggest challenge is to create a diverse line-up that the majority of Vandy students as well as greater Nashville will enjoy. This often means bringing smaller, but no less respectable acts to introduce new live sounds to the area – which is very exciting! I hope our students will take a chance on us and come to the festival earlier than normal to check out some new names in the industry. I feel that our hard work will definitely pay off. Another year, another Rites success!

What are your plans after Vanderbilt? Those begin with earning my master’s degree in history of art at the Meadows School of Art at Southern Methodist Uni- versity.
