Building a Stronger Workplace

In the course of our strategic plan and the comprehensive campaign, a lingering “to do” has been the establishment of a Center for Women in the Workforce. As part of Meredith’s mission to prepare women for lives of impact and distinction, we ensure our students’ readiness for the workplace (defined broadly from corporations to non-profits to government, military, and other entities including volunteer organizations). Is there more we can do in this critical arena?
We have identified a number of avenues for further exploration, including some compelling questions and emerging themes that might help shape future conversations:
Numerous questions exist, of course, about timing, funding, leadership, goals, outcomes, and more. Whatever we create could lead to a mini-campaign to push us over our $75 million goal for Beyond Strong | The Campaign for Meredith.
Key is that Meredith is asking the critical questions, weighing data, analyzing responsive opportunities, and more. And we offer this focus on women because we are a women’s college, not because we do not care about men. Indeed, as many have argued, when women succeed, children, the elderly, our communities, and men succeed. Whatever we create, this important initiative is designed to take us ALL forward.
