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.

Jess Edgemon
Jess Edgemon, from Cleveland, Tennessee, is an English literature major with a biblical studies minor who has fully embraced the opportunities at Lee. A Kairos Scholar and McNair Scholar, she is also involved in LEAP (Learn. Engage. Achieve. Program.), works for the Center for Calling and Career, and serves as a residential chaplain for Sharp Davis Hall. Of all her roles, Jess says ResLife has been her favorite because of the strong sense of community it fosters and the chance to walk alongside the same students she disciples. Jess chose Lee for the relational and intentional nature of the professors. “They show that they care, and they want to connect with students. I deeply value that connection.” After graduation, she plans to attend graduate school for English, continue her research on feminist critical theory, and eventually become a professor.
