"I believe…giving to The Meredith Fund is the best way to ensure other women will be able to share in the unique Meredith experience that is so special to all alumnae."

Virginia Gentry Parker '83 has been a presence on Meredith's campus in many capacities. Parker has served on the Board of Trustees and as the Alumnae Association President. She was also on the Presidential Search Committee that hired Maureen Hartford and was chair of President Hartford's Inauguration Committee. She currently serves on the Meredith Fund Advisory Board. Virginia is also an active leader in the North Carolina school system, particularly Wake County.

When Virginia was asked why she chose to give her support to The Meredith Fund she responded: "Why do I give my dollars to The Meredith Fund? Because when I think back to my college days, it was the everyday occurrences that these dollars support that made my educational experience at Meredith so extraordinary. The beautiful campus, the challenging professors, the diversity of student, and the warmth of the residence halls – all of these exist due in part to the Meredith Fund. Please join me in assuring that all future generations of Meredith students enjoy the same experience you and I did."

Through her roles in the Meredith community and her local community, Virginia has seen the importance alumnae support has in the life of the College. We hope that you too value your Meredith experience as much as Virginia does and are willing to give back to the school that gave you so much.

If you have any questions please contact Jane Mitchell, director of The Meredith Fund, at 919.760.8060

Thank you for your support!
