E-mail: lassiter-counts@hendrix.edu

Leigh, a 2001 Hendrix alumna, joins the Career Services office after spending 5 years ‘on the road’ for Hendrix as a fundraiser. With a Masters degree in Higher Education Administration, she has experience in athletics, academic advising, constituent relations, student activities, and advancement and development. She will head the internship program and is thrilled to spend more time on the beautiful Hendrix campus assisting students and faculty as the internship program continues to grow. She is eager to help with all internship and employment related questions, inquiries and explorations.

Beyond her work at Hendrix, Leigh enjoys all-things athletic – including rooting for her two favorite teams – the Hendrix Warriors and the University of Arkansas-Monticello Boll Weevils (she grew up on the campus of UAM). She serves on the Hendrix College Warrior Booster Club Board and is the ultimate Warrior fan along with her husband, Richard, also a Hendrix graduate, and their daughter Eliza (hopeful class of ’31) and their son Finn '34. They also have two canine children, Ella and Gracie.
