About Kathleen Lee

I believe in the power of immersive learning to transform students’ paths—and futures. I create programs that connect the classroom to the wider world, drawing on the expertise of thought leaders, skilled practitioners, and industry partners. At Medill, I lead a team dedicated to experiential learning in journalism and marketing. I thrive in spaces where ideas become action, and where mentorship and collaboration drive meaningful change. With a background in law, I bring structure to vision and ask good questions along the way.

   Currently, I manage a large footprint supporting Medill\'s experiential learning courses, in support of the Dean\'s initiatives.

We support programs from one week to one term, from undergraduate to graduate students, from our own back yard to half way around the world.
