“My Lee experience has been uniquely great beyond what I could’ve expected as an incoming freshman. Involved alumni have had a huge part to play as their Lee stories continuously set the stage for my Lee story to encapsulate my personal development as a young leader, student, and Christ follower. The generous hearts of alumni to share their time, resources, and relational investments have made a huge difference in my life at Lee.”
