Making an Impact

Building a Family Legacy of Generosity and Purpose

By Emily Parker

Wendy Holman McLawhorn, ’99, celebrated her 25th reunion last year, and to commemorate it, she established the McLawhorn Family Scholarship Endowment. Giving back to Meredith in this way was a decision McLawhorn, her husband, Chris, and their two daughters Isabelle and Molly made together. In October, they came for an endowment signing with President Aimee Sapp in Johnson Hall to make it official.

The Estes-Speight Family Athletic Center construction is almost complete. The new building will include athletic training space for softball, tennis, and golf. The space will include two large indoor batting cages that will double as indoor golf driving ranges, locker rooms, a student lounge, and public restrooms.
