Lighting the Way for Meredith Students

By Jean Gambrill, Assistant Director of The Meredith Fund

This year, The Meredith Fund is focusing on how gifts are Lighting the Way for our students. For instance, campus security is one essential component in helping to provide the best college experience for the women who have chosen Meredith.

Question: What is the daily cost of campus security?
Answer: $1,250 a day

As a Meredith employee, your gift of any amount helps to fund areas such as campus security. Participation is what counts, and all members of our community appreciate and benefit from your generosity.

“When the six o'clock news includes an incident of campus violence on one of the nation's college campuses, I'm reassured by the knowledge that Meredith College is providing a safe environment for my daughter. From the facilities standpoint, I see limited access to campus, restricted dorm entry, on-campus apartments, and security telephones as some of the many steps taken to provide a safe environment. From my perspective, Meredith College consistently demonstrates an impressive level of concern for student security with efforts such as email and voicemail messages, campus security personnel, and campus safety policy decisions. As a Meredith parent, thank you for all you do.”

Dan Thomas, current parent

To echo Thomas’ gratitude, The Meredith Fund extends a very special thank you to Chief Strickland for his many dedicated years of service to Meredith, and thank you to all of our campus security employees.
