Since 2010 parents and families at Meredith College have supported a campus project each year that benefits all students in some way. These projects have enabled Meredith to improve spaces and launch programs that contribute to a positive experience during students’ time on campus.
Arecent $500,000 gift from Marilyn and Charles Stuber will endow a professorship in Human and Environmental Sciences for Meredith College. The Dr. Marilyn M. Stuber and Dr. Charles W. Stuber Endowed Professorship will recognize outstanding contributions and accomplishments to a professor in his or her academic discipline within the Department of Human Environmental Sciences.
Meredith College has received a five-year gift from Deborah Stanley McNeill, ’71, focusing on a new health and wellness initiative promoting the wide array of health-related academic programs as well as services that help students, faculty, and staff with overall physical and mental health. This gift will help support and prepare more students to take advantage of the growth in healthcare occupations expected to add approximately 2.6 million jobs by 2030.
Sue Anne James Schoonderwoerd, ’64, has helped others through-out her life as an educator, a retirement advisor, and mother to two sons. As a co-class agent, she is always ready to give, help, and lead in whatever is needed. Her monthly gifts to the College throughout the years and most recently a $50,000 planned gift for the Greatest Needs of the College will help by providing unrestricted money to support students.
In addition to the gratifying feeling donors receive when they make a gift to Meredith College, the Office of Institutional Advancement honors donors through several giving societies. These societies fall into two broad categories, annual giving and lifetime giving, and offer recognition to many of the College’s most loyal contributors.
