Expect
Something
Great
We have a phrase around Lee, Expect Something Great. We think the college experience should be much more than just academic excellence. At Lee, we expect our students to experience transformational relationships with faculty, with other students, in campus life, and as they move into their calling.

Anna Douglas
Dr. Anna Douglas graduated from Lee in 2014 with a bachelors of science in Chemistry and Mathematics. She currently leads a team of scientists and engineers at SkyNano LLC working to commercialize a technology to capture and convert greenhouse gasses into valuable materials. Anna co-founded SkyNano in January 2017 and has served as the CEO since then. “Lee prepared me in a myriad of ways for what I am doing now,” Anna said. “I felt wholly prepared academically when I left Lee and started my graduate studies at Vanderbilt, even alongside students from top-ranked research institutions. Lee also helped develop a confidence in my calling that helped to carry me through the ups and downs of graduate school and starting a technology company, and believe me, this has been a roller coaster of a ride! If I didn't have the confidence in my calling that was instilled and reinforced at Lee, I wouldn't be where I am today.
