Anyone who knows me knows that I love Meredith College. No seriously...I absolutely LOVE Meredith College! I've had some of the best experiences of my life at this private female college in Raleigh, NC and I want the world to understand that I'm so proud to be an Angel.
Tonight, I had the privilege of attending the first event for the Class of 2008. 15 of us gathered at the Alumni House and ate, laughed, reminisced, and spoke about the current heartbeat of the campus. We shared concerns about the current climate and conditions of the campus, inquired about what we could do to improve the current state of affairs, and stressed the importance of alumni support.
Meredith College is an amazing place for women to become global citizens, study abroad, and become leaders in business, technology, and changing the world for the better. The faculty and staff are supportive and appreciate the fresh ideas and passion that Meredith students and alumna possess. Current and former students alike become intertwined as they prepare for and participate in Meredith traditions, and engage in healthy competitions between the even and odd graduating classes.
I learned something special tonight. I learned a lesson in giving, not just monetarily, but in investing my time and talents in a plethora of ways in an effort to help Meredith College maintain it's strong and competitive place amongst private female colleges in the state of North Carolina and beyond. I've learned that the hearts of the Angels that I had fellowship with tonight are pure and genuine, and I'm proud to be a Meredith Angel.
I'll be doing a lot more for the college I love so much, and I would encourage my fellow class of 2008 alumna to do the same. It only takes a moment and Meredith College would only benefit from our support. I'm thankful for the experiences and opportunities that Meredith College has allowed me to have, and so pleased to see that there is lots of love for this amazing educational institution.
