The Presidential Lecture Series at Meredith College stimulates and enhances the intellectual and academic climate at Meredith College and in the broader community.

The Series features nationally- and internationally-recognized speakers who are invited on the basis of their expertise, accomplishments and relevance to the College's mission. Often, Meredith students also enjoy the enriching opportunity to interact with the speakers in varied campus events prior to or following the lecture event.

In the spirit of community activism and to continue to foster the College's welcoming and inclusive environment, the lecture events are open to the general public as well as to the Meredith campus community.

About the Series

Through the lecture series, Meredith promotes intellectually-rigorous discussions that relate to the Summer Reading Book and to the College’s mission of educating and inspiring students to live with integrity and provide leadership for the needs, opportunities and challenges of society.
