Lacey Gebhart

Lacey Beth Gebhart is a proud graduate of Weiner High School, Hendrix College (BA in Religious Studies), and the University of Arkansas (M.Ed. in Higher Education with an emphasis in Student Affairs). Lacey is the Associate Director for the Upward Bound Programs at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, and she has been on the UB team since 2013. Upward Bound summers are the highlight of Lacey’s year, and being part of students’ success is the gas that keeps Lacey’s engines running! Lacey is the proud wife of a literal and figurative clown, kooky aunt to 4 nieces and 2 nephews, part of the “church lady crew” at Trinity United Methodist Church, and a total Harry Potter nerd. As a first-generation college grad herself, Lacey strives to be for students now what she needed back then.
