AUBURN, Ala. - Like many on Auburn University's campus, Lauren Silvio considers herself an educator. Unlike most instructors, Silvio's subject matter is food, an edible expertise.
"The main thing I want to do is give these student-athletes the tools and the knowledge to take it from here into their lives, whether they're going to a professional career, or whether they're moving on to being a normal person in the real world," said Silvio, who joined Auburn Athletics as director of sports nutrition two years ago after earning master's in kinesiology at LSU.
