Meredith College has received two awards from the Council

CASE is the professional organization for advancement professionals
who work in alumni relations, communications, and development.
District III includes colleges and universities in Alabama,

Traditions and Transitions, Meredith’s 1999-2000

The entry, which was selected from a total of 20 entries,
included news releases, tip sheets, media advisories, descriptions
