A Farewell and Thank You

As I pen this message, it’s with a profound sense of gratitude and contemplation that I share news of pivotal changes at Kempus. Today marks my final day as CEO, and it also signifies the conclusion of Kempus, following strategic decisions made by the board.

Reflecting on this journey, I am immensely grateful for the unique opportunity to engage with an inspiring community of college students, educators, and athletic departments.

And a big shout out to our partners and advisors. They helped us a lot with their advice and support, especially when things got tough in the education world. Our collective efforts have significantly contributed to shaping a purposeful and dynamic college environment, one that will undoubtedly influence future generations.

I extend my deepest appreciation to our incredible team — which includes our amazing group of interns — for their unwavering commitment and innovative spirit. Your dedication has not only propelled our growth but has also made a tangible difference in the academic community.

Even though Kempus is ending, the experiences and lessons I’ve learned are going to stay with me. And I’ll continuously challenge myself to be a better and wiser leader.

In closing, I thank the entire Kempus family once again. Your passion, dedication, and faith in our mission have been the cornerstone of our success. I am confident that the paths we have forged will intersect again in the future.

With sincere thanks,
Jae Lee, CEO of Kempus
