During her undergraduate years as a social work student, Robin Lester discovered her desire to make connections and help others. As a graduate student working in the WKU Intercultural Student Engagement Center (ISEC), Lester is honing her skills in assisting others and facilitating engaging programming.
After graduating with her bachelor’s, Lester began pursuing a master's degree in Student Affairs in Higher Education at WKU, a path that continues to offer opportunities to both apply her coursework and reach out to the Hilltopper community. As Lester nears the end of her final semester of graduate school, she leads the charge in implementing events for Women's Heritage Month -- with a focus on promoting confidence, self-care and empowerment for women on campus.
"Promoting female empowerment and inclusiveness, that's always been a passion of mine," Lester said. "I was always in women's empowerment groups in middle and high school. When [ISEC Program Coordinator Lamario Moore and ISEC Executive Director Dr. Martha Sales] asked if I wanted to do it, I said ‘yes’ without any question."
