College Research Drawing on a long history of educating strong women, Meredith College regularly conducts important research on selected women’s issues, including several projects by faculty and students within the School of Arts and Humanities.
The Status of Girls in North Carolina documents factors that impact girls' lives within the state. The report highlights areas in which girls in N.C. are making strides, areas in need of improvement, and areas of disparity among girls.
In North Carolina, women make up more than 54% of registered voters, but hold less than 25% of elected and appointed offices. The Status of Women in North Carolina Politics uses data about women as voters and elected leaders throughout the state to offer recommendations for improving women's underrepresentation in politics.
Administered by the Department of History and Political Science, the Meredith College Poll is part of the College's commitment to civic engagement. Students conduct this poll of registered N.C. voters each semester, and gain hands-on polling experience.
