My advice to students searching for a college...

Tour both big and small schools to get a feel of what learning environment is best for you. pick a school with lots of major options that you could see yourself doing. Don’t be afraid to go to a college where you don’t know anybody!

Most memorable Lees-McRae experience...

Meeting some of my closest friends while on the Western National Parks Expedition with the Outdoor Recreation Management department.

Favorite thing to do in the area...

Go skiing at Beech and Sugar mountain in the winter, and going swimming, climbing, and hiking in the summer with friends. I love to be able to help people in the community by working at Banner Elk Fire Rescue and Watauga Medics!
