A native of Hickory, Alex Deal joined Lenoir-Rhyne in 2020 as a graduate assistant for special projects while completing her MBA, and she now serves as campus experience coordinator for admission.

She enjoys collaborating with partners across campus and the community to provide the best visit experience for future LR Bears. 

  • What I Love About LR: You’d be hard-pressed to find another university with such a strong sense of community. LR is like a close-knit family, and everybody seems to know everybody. From the moment I stepped on campus as both a graduate student and a staff member, I knew Lenoir-Rhyne was a special place. The support system extends not only across campus, but also into the greater Hickory community.  
  • Interesting Fact: In 2020, my family and I got the opportunity to be on a private Zoom call with country star Brad Paisley and sing along to a couple of songs with him. Our photo was on Paisley’s Instagram and Facebook accounts and the “Today Show.”
