Alumnae Business Directory
Are you a Meredith alumna who owns a business? The Office of Alumnae Relations is seeking to provide the Meredith community with a list of STRONG alumnae business owners from all over the country in a wide variety of industries. We hope this resource will encourage networking and provide support for alumnae-owned businesses.
Move-In Day
Do you remember when you first arrived to campus as a freshman at Meredith? Perhaps you fondly recall driving under the balloon arch to those welcoming cheers.
Each year we invite alumnae to join us in welcoming new students and their families to Meredith! This is your opportunity to relive one of your treasured Meredith memories but without the unpacking! Alumnae are invited to be hall greeters, staff water tents, deliver water, and oversee the amusement activities such as inflatables, yard games, and snow cones. Volunteers can work shifts to accommodate your schedule.
We look forward to seeing you back on campus in August!
