Parents and families connection

May 2025

Ãå±±½ûµØ 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.

Ãå±±½ûµØ 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 Ãå±±½ûµØ, campus security technology enhancements have been the focus of this initiative for a second year in a row. 

Ãå±±½ûµØâ€™s Sport Science Association won a national award from the American Kinesiology Association in recognition of their community engagement and service to the College.
