Expect
Something
Great

Logan Meacham
Logan Meacham graduated from Lee in 2016 with a degree in exercise science. He currently works for McKee Foods Corporation in their corporate compensation and benefits department. His team creates and implements wellness programming for a population of several thousand employees and their families across the nation, working hard to help others live healthier lives, stay safer on the job, and reduce healthcare expenses. According to Meacham, Lee equipped him with unique research tools to best understand evolving health trends and the business acumen to write effective programs to help the population win with their health. “Even four years after graduating, I regularly keep up with my professors,” said Meacham. “They invest so much into students and are always an email, phone call, or coffee shop away. The support I received from them as a student made me a better student and person, but the support I receive as a graduate is even more invaluable. I am thankful for their consistency in going above and beyond in everything they do, even when they don’t have to.”
