For those of you who don't know me, I'm Lauren, lover of all things Ohio State (I have more ties to OSU than I can count!). My business was started several years back due to a dear friend and OOS OSU parent needing my help. And because of great parents like you, LaurenHelpsU has grown. Me, along with my great team of moms are here to support you AND your student. If you have any questions please reach out at LaurenHelpsU@gmail.com and or follow along on my Facebook page Lauren Helps U! Connecting parents with one another and creating community engagement around all things OSU is something I *LOVE* to do, and hopefully I can help you too!

Hello everyone, I'm Susan Van Aacken. After 26 incredible years of service with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, I’m thrilled to share the next chapter of my journey—a deeply personal and purposeful endeavor close to my heart.
Starting this fall, I will be bringing the Ohio-based *Mom* Company, LaurenHelpsU, to the Georgia Institute of Technology AND Emory campuses. As a proud Atlanta native with lifelong ties to both institutions, I’m honored to help expand this trusted service—designed especially with out-of-state parents in mind—into a city and university community I know and love.
Georgia Tech has also played a major role in both my personal and professional journey. I attended graduate school there, served on the board of the School of Public Policy, and taught policy analysis for the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter School of Public Policy. I’ve enjoyed Tech’s sporting events, DramaTech performances, and watched my son swim in the Dekalb County Championship at the 1996 Olympic pool and picked him up from GT-hosted STEM and sports camps over the years.
