A Top-Tier, Christ-Centered Experience

Welcome to Lee University, in scenic southeast Tennessee, where the Tennessee River carves through the Appalachian foothills. We offer well over 150 programs of study from associates to doctoral degrees, but our original focus – and still our mission more than a century later – is to create a safe but challenging environment in which our students can develop and prepare for a complex and demanding world.

CJ Edwards

Christian (CJ) Edwards majors in biblical and theological studies with a philosophy emphasis. Also a music minor, he is a member of the the university’s a cappella ensemble Voices of Lee, which has been a rewarding experience for him. “I have been pushed and stretched in a way that made me a better musician and person.” CJ is grateful for his friendships at Lee and getting to experience the value of community in his daily life. After graduation, CJ wants to pursue a career in music in Nashville, Tennessee, but also feels led to minister to inner-city youth.
