EdD

The Educational Doctorate in Professional Practice prepares the candidate to bring both theory and praxis into their specific area of educational practice. This program was developed by the faculty of the Helen DeVos College of Education along with Local Education Agency (LEA) partners to give candidates the skills and dispositions to impact education administration, policy, and instruction. This includes understanding the nature of change, the relational aspects of administration, and the leading of an organization that is constantly in flux. Analytical data skills and current assessment techniques are foundational to the degree.

Austin Cavender

Austin Cavender, a sports management major with a minor in religion from Hendersonville, Tennessee, chose Lee for its strong Christian community and the opportunity to grow in his faith. “I came to Lee because I wanted to go to a Christian college somewhere in the U.S. -- a place where I could have community and worship the Lord, and Lee has done that for me.” Austin is also actively involved in a small group at Public Church, which he describes as a wonderful community that has helped him grow closer to the Lord. He has been named to the Dean’s List every semester so far and says one of the highlights of his time at Lee has been the friendships he has formed and the clubs he has joined throughout his college experience. After graduation, Austin hopes to pursue a career that combines his love for sports and ministry or enter the field of sports marketing.
