In 2022 Meredith College partnered with FreeWill – a secure, online estate planning resource. It takes as little as 20 minutes to protect the things that matter most to you and it is free. Alumnae who have already used the tool found it easy to use and are glad they learned that Meredith offers this self-guided platform. The website walks you through the will-writing process and allows you to include an optional legacy donation to support Meredith College.

Bobby and Franny Beasley saw first-hand how a student’s relationship with a professor affects their college experience. The positive experience their daughter, Lindsay Beasley, ’13, had at Meredith with Diane Ellis, Beasley’s fashion merchandising professor, was transformative and helped her both inside and outside the classroom.

In 2022, Carolyn Murray Happer and her husband Leonard Shaw Graham created the Happer-Graham History Scholarship and the Happer-Graham History Program Fund. These gifts will help support history students who aspire to become teachers and enhance learning opportunities by funding research, summer study, and conference attendance.

The A.J. Fletcher Foundation has long supported Meredith College with gifts to the arts and music but most recently named the TV Studio Suite in the new Communication and Health, Exercise & Sport Sciences Building (CHESS) with a gift of $250,000.

Greg and Jan Kinlaw saw the excitement on their daughter’s face when she stepped out of the car on her first visit to Meredith College. Their daughter Taylor Kinlaw Boyette, ’18, knew she had found her college home and did not have to look anywhere else.
