Lee Day 2025 set to take place in April
From Leeuniversity.edu: Lee University will host Lee Day on Friday, April 4, and Saturday, April 5, offering prospective students and their families a unique opportunity to explore the university. Over the two-day event, visitors will participate in various activities that showcase the diverse clubs, people, cultures, and opportunities that make Lee University special.
“Lee Day is the perfect opportunity for prospective students and their families to experience what makes Lee University special,” said Elizabeth Pace, director of undergraduate admissions. “From connecting with faculty and exploring academic programs to enjoying campus life firsthand, this event offers an in-depth look at the opportunities and community that await at Lee.”
Registration will begin on Friday at 8:30 a.m., followed by campus tours and the Residential Hall Open House from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. Personalized financial aid sessions will be held during this same time. Students are also invited to attend featured classes throughout the day between 9 a.m. and 2:15 p.m. in various classrooms.
Early Class Selection will be offered by appointment in which students can meet one-on-one with an academic advisor to register for classes, discuss academic plans, and create a full schedule for the fall semester.
Following a lunch provided for all Lee Day guests, academic displays will be set up in the School of Business lobby from 2-5 p.m., where students can discover more about their programs of interest. A session for parents on student success initiatives, as well as an open house hosted by the Office of Racial and Ethnic Relations will be held that afternoon.
Later Friday afternoon, Lee will host informational sessions about the art program, the theatre program, Summer Honors, and disability services. At 4 p.m., Major Discovery will take place in Pangle Hall, where students can discover and explore the available majors at Lee, followed by a financial aid presentation.
The annual Block Party will begin at 5:30 p.m. on the Sharp Pedestrian Mall, offering food, fun, and the opportunity to meet current students.
Friday evening, prospective students and families can choose from five events to attend at 7 p.m. Activities include an intramural three-on-three basketball game, sand volleyball, and other games hosted by Lee Athletics; “Colors and Coffee,” a painting party with Lee’s art faculty; and the Music Showcase featuring Lee Chorale and instrumental ensembles. Lee’s improv team, Shenanigans, will also put on a comedy show in Pangle Hall that evening. The fifth option is the Lee Theatre Production “A Murder is Announced” by Agatha Christie.
“We have had a great time rehearsing this murder mystery and we can’t wait to have audiences join us for our first performance on Lee Day,” said Dr. Christine Williams, professor of theatre and chair of the Communication Arts Department at Lee. “It has been quite some time since we have played an Agatha Christie, and this has been such a delight to direct.”
The evening will conclude with the Moonlight Cafe in the Sharp Pedestrian Mall, an event featuring live music and coffee.
Saturday events will begin at 7 a.m. with registration, campus tours, and Early Class Selection. The morning will also offer more opportunities to view academic displays and residence halls. More financial aid sessions will be offered throughout the day, as well as a special Lunch and Learn meeting for parents with Lee President Dr. Paul Conn.
Spotlight on Your Life at Lee will take place at 10:30 that morning in the Conn Center, highlighting various aspects of campus life, such as Lee music, award-winning videos, and alumni stories. Separate luncheons for transfer students and high schoolers will take place at various locations across campus, where they can also enter the scholarship drawing taking place that evening.
Following the luncheons, guests and prospective students are invited to the Sharp Pedestrian Mall to visit student booths and displays highlighting the many academic, service, and social clubs that Lee offers. School of Music auditions will also be held at this time.
Later in the afternoon, academic support services will lead another session on disability services offered by the school. Opportunities to learn about Lee’s Kairos honors program and Lee Athletics will begin at 2 and 2:30 p.m., respectively.
Finally, participants are invited to join LeeU Worship and Voices of Lee for a Worship Rally in the Conn Center at 4 p.m. At the conclusion of the service, scholarships will be drawn and awarded to prospective students, followed by a cook out for all Lee Day attendees in Alumni Park.
“There is simply no better time to visit our campus than Lee Day,” said Danny Murray, co-chair of the Lee Day committee. Everyone is dialed in to meeting and hosting our guests – student clubs, athletics, and music on display – plus prospective students and their families can tour our beautiful campus and sit in on a class! We can’t wait to welcome everyone to Lee.”
All events will be free for registered Lee Day guests.
