Jill McCluskey co-founded the Lauren McCluskey Foundation with her husband Matt after the murder of her daughter Lauren. Jill serves as the Foundation’s President. Jill was a “track mom” to Lauren. They traveled nationally for Lauren to compete and loved spending time together on these trips. In the Foundation, Jill’s main focus is on campus safety, and she is also supportive of the Foundation’s two additional strategic objectives dealing with amateur athletics and animal welfare, which were two of Lauren’s passions. She started the Lauren’s Promise campaign, and she is collaborating on the campus safety score initiative. She shares Lauren’s story to increase awareness of the danger of dating violence and make positive change, so that others will not lose their daughters to violence. Jill is also a Regents Professor and Director of the School of Economic Sciences at Washington State University.
