Expect
Something
Great
We have a phrase around Lee, Expect Something Great. We think the college experience should be much more than just academic excellence. At Lee, we expect our students to experience transformational relationships with faculty, with other students, in campus life, and as they move into their calling.

April Richmond
April Richmond, from Cleveland, Tennessee, is a music business and music education major. Aprils says she was drawn to Lee because “the campus felt like home.” She is a member of the university’s Symphonic Band, Wind Ensemble, Jazz Ensemble, Small Jazz Ensemble, The Outpost, and Creation Care Club. She has also been a teaching assistant for the class Understanding Contemporary Society, as well as working as a student worker for the Office of Student Development. She says that all of this is preparing her for life after graduation, where she plans to either become a high school band director or work as a marketing executive for artist management.
