For the second year, Meredith College offered a Summer Bridge Program to help new students thrive in college. More than 80 students signed up for a two-week course that began online on August 7. The classes were then held in person from August 16-18. Participants earned two hours of general elective credit, and all courses were offered on a pass/fail basis.

Five Meredith College seniors recently received a grant of $5,000 from the IME Becas (Institute for Mexicans Abroad) to help continue their education. Since 2013, Meredith College and IME Becas have collaborated to award $200,500 of grant money to 159 students of Mexican origin.

Meredith College mourns the loss of Professor of Mathematics Tim Hendrix who passed away on July 16, 2023. He is remembered as a gifted educator who was much loved by his students.

Internships are an important way students gain experience for their future careers. This summer, Meredith students completed internships at a variety of organizations, including the Wake County Public Defender’s Office, Marbles Kids Museum, Wildlife Law Enforcement, and the N.C. Department of Transportation. Students shared what they learned during these career-focused experiences.
