Favorite thing about Lees-McRae....

I love how connected I feel to everyone on campus. It feels very tight knit and that’s what has allowed me to fourish as a student.

My advice to students searching for a college...

I would say explore all of your options. This time is for you to find where you think you’ll truly fit. Explore different areas of study, different class sizes, whatever you want until you find the place you can call home.

Most memorable Lees-McRae experience...

My freshman year, it snowed a lot at once and we had classes canceled. My friends and I spent the entire day sledding and playing in the snow. There were at least 20 students on Tate Lawn just having a blast and it was a great day that I think about all the time, especially since it’s getting colder here.

Favorite thing to do in the area...

I absolutely adore Elk River Falls. It’s about 20 minutes from campus and it is a great spot for my friends and I to go swimming when it is warm. It is also beautiful.

I'm passionate about...
