Heather chats with high school classmate and Vanderbilt AD Candice Storey Lee.

Lee, a native of Madison, Alabama, and former student-athlete at Vanderbilt, is the vice chancellor for athletics and university affairs and athletic director.

Lee is Vanderbilt’s first female athletic director and the first African American woman to head an SEC athletics program. Lee has served as an integral leader at the university and in athletics for almost 20 years, most recently serving as deputy director of the program, a role she was appointed to in 2016. She has also served as the department’s senior woman administrator since 2004.

Give Back Jack was started in 2017 by Allison Shipp, who was in Leadership Jackson at the time. It was a community #GivingTuesday campaign and continued. When the pandemic hit in March, Allison saw many struggling to make ends meet, some for the first time in their lives. Many didn’t know where their next meals would come from, and others were relying on the generosity of others for the first times ever. Allison began adding some food items and other essentials to existing local free little libraries around town as a way to help out her neighbors. This has grown to over 15 Blessing Boxes... Only rule is "Take what you need. Bring what you can. Above all, be blessed."
