ONE Lees-McRae
Lees-McRae is more than a college. We’re a community. Together, we lift the institution to its full potential and create an educational environment where students can thrive.
ONE Lees-McRae is designed to deepen the bonds among all those who love the college. This initiative brings students, families, alumni, friends, and community members together with meaningful events and engagement opportunities and provides an avenue to connect more closely with the college.
Below, find upcoming events as well as resources to help you get more involved.
