Expect
Something

Kayla Smith
Kayla Smith decided to come to Lee after visiting the camp us and meeting a few professors, including public relations professor Dr. Andrea Phillips. “After talking with Dr. Phillips about public relations she told me something like, ‘I have a couch in my office just because I love talking with students. You are more than welcome to visit anytime.’ Now, I’ve talked with her on that couch, in the student union, and I have even been over to her house for a cookout for public relations majors.” said Kayla. “I really loved how genuine the students and the faculty were toward me, and I realized right away I wanted to spend the next four years here.” Kayla is now a public relations major heavily involved with Evangelistic Singers, Vindagua (yearbook), and PRSSA (Public Relations Student Society of America).
