Lee Anne Stone, a 2002 graduate, returned to Gaylord College nearly 20 years later to launch Women in Gaylord, which is designed to empower female students and provide the resources they need to be successful. “Dean Kelley and I have known each other a long time. So, he reached out to me for a cup of coffee and said, ‘Hey, I’ve got this idea for women in Gaylord, 68% of the undergrads here at Gaylord are female.’ And there was no program just supporting them,” Stone said.
