Lesley Mackey

As relatively new professional in higher education, Lesley W. Mackey finished his bachelor’s degree in Occupational Science (2022) from Eastern Kentucky University. In Summer 2022, him and his husband later found themselves moving to Hays, KS, to work on their respective master’s degrees at Fort Hays State University (FHSU). Within in his first academic semester of graduate coursework, he transitioned from a graduate assistantship into a newly created, full-time role in graduate enrollment management (GEM). As FHSU continues to explore what GEM means to them, this role has allowed him the opportunity to get involved in coordinating all aspects of graduate recruitment, retention, and marketing. He will finish his MBA later this year, is a member of the NASPA SAPAA Knowledge Community, and sits on the NAGAP Research Committee as a liaison to the Marketing Committee.
