Faculty and Staff Share Why They Support Meredith on Giving Day 

Our faculty and staff are a major part of what makes the Meredith College experience so special.

With the 10th annual Day of Giving just around the corner, we hope you will follow along on social media and online at meredith.edu/makeitcount4mc as the Meredith community comes together to support and celebrate one another. 

Many faculty and staff support their own departments or make gifts to the Greatest Needs of the College on this special day. Donations of any size directly support students, academic areas, and our entire campus. The collective impact of your generosity keeps Meredith going strong! 

Faculty and staff members have shared why they give on Giving Day. Save the date for Tuesday, February 25, 2025, and Make It Count For Meredith!

“I give each year to support past, present, and future Meredith students. Giving to the College allows Meredith to remain strong – now and in the future.”  — Ann Gleason | Dean of Students

“I give to help students, staff, and faculty have the resources we need to make the most out of our experience at Meredith College.” —Professor Jason Andrus | Biology
