Caleb Richardson, an athletic training major from Braxton, Mississippi, brings a unique perspective to his studies at Lee. After graduating from high school in 2012, he joined the Marine Corps, where he had the opportunity to travel the world before enrolling at Lee in 2023. “I visited many different colleges after my service in the Marine Corps, but Lee stood out to me because I wasn’t just a number.” At Lee, Caleb says he found a supportive environment where professors not only challenge him academically but also invest in his success.  After graduation, Caleb plans to remain in Tennessee with his wife Sarah, a Lee alumna, and pursue a career as a high school or collegiate athletic trainer, where he can be a source of encouragement and guidance for young people.
