Parents and families connection

May 2025

Meredith College has announced plans to add flag football to its athletics offerings, aiming for competition to begin in Spring 2027. Meredith will be the first college in its USA South Conference to sponsor flag football as an official sport.

Meredith College has announced the Summer Reading Program selection for 2025 is Tracy K. Smith’s memoir Ordinary Light, a finalist for the National Book Award. The College will welcome Smith, a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and memoirist, to campus in the fall 2025 semester.

After the success of last year’s Parents and Families Project at Meredith College, campus security technology enhancements have been the focus of this initiative for a second year in a row. 

Meredith College’s Sport Science Association won a national award from the American Kinesiology Association in recognition of their community engagement and service to the College. 

Professor Emerita Betty Webb, ’67, received the Meredith College 2025 Woman of Achievement Award during a special event on April 28, 2025. She was interviewed during the event by Vice President for College Programs and Professor of English Jean Jackson, ’75.
