Lauren K. Raikes of Speedway, Indiana, is the student trustee recently appointed to the University of Southern Indiana Board of Trustees by Governor Mitch Daniels. A biology major with an emphasis in optometry, Raikes will serve a two-year term.

She holds the James J. and Sally H. Giancola Endowed Presidential Scholarship at USI and carries a 4.0 grade point average. She is a member of the Honors Program and serves as a student ambassador and a member of the Pott College of Science and Engineering Advisory Board. She also is a member of the Pre-Professional Health Club, a student organization at USI, and was a participant in the USI Honors Symposium. She plans to graduate in May 2011.

Raikes is a 2007 graduate of Speedway High School, where she was valedictorian. She also was the president of her class and president of the National Honor Society. She is active in church youth groups and traveled with them to El Salvador on a medical team and to Costa Rica as part of a community redevelopment team.

She is the daughter of Gary and Lori Raikes of Speedway. Her sister Lyndsay Raikes is a senior at USI who plays on the softball team.
