Alumnae and Friends Give Outstanding Support in 2021-22
By Emily Parker
Gifts from alumnae and friends supported students and the entire Meredith community this past year through scholarships, professorships, facility upgrades, departmental programs, academic coaching, and more. The College is extremely thankful to all who donated to ensure that students have the opportunity to learn at one of the top-tier liberal arts colleges in the country.

The Communication and Health, Exercise & Sport Sciences building opened in August 2022. Innovative spaces within the building allow for creativity, collaboration, and hands-on experiences for students. Naming opportunities are available for many of these spaces. The money raised through naming opportunities supports student academic spaces, programs, undergraduate research, enhancements to campus common areas, and athletics, to name a few.

A Gift to Help Students Study Abroad
By Emily Parker
The impact three degrees from Meredith College have given Betsy (Elizabeth) Best Phillips, ’71, ’86, ’89 (MBA), are immeasurable. Her sense of indebtedness to the College inspires her to be actively involved in order to both help Meredith grow and inspire students and younger alumnae to stay connected. The relationships she has formed have been a treasure to her and influenced her to give her time and talent to students at Meredith.
