For Mildred "Millie" LeJeune, the Hilltopper Spirit means pursuing personal growth and a life of excellence. From exploring her passion for physical therapy, getting involved in various campus organizations and making connections within the campus community, LeJeune has sought experiences at WKU and beyond that have pushed her ambitious goals forward. A junior Exercise Science major from Atlanta, Georgia, LeJeune discovered her future career path early in her Hilltopper journey.
"I've always enjoyed helping others and being a first responder, so I wanted to pursue my degree in Exercise Science. When I got into the program, Dr. Sarah Scali, a Pedagogical Assistant Professor of Exercise Science, made a significant impact on my decision to pursue a concentration in Pre-Physical Therapy."
LeJeune also made a strong first impression on Dr. Scali through her enthusiasm in class. “From my first meeting with Millie, I could tell that she was truly excited about being a Hilltopper," Dr. Scali said.
