“Meredith provided me with opportunities to excel, be a leader, speak in front of groups, study abroad, and get into one of the top graduate schools in the nation. I’ve learned that I’m capable of doing anything I set my mind to.”
“The classes I took challenged me to think critically and apply my knowledge to the real-life situations I might encounter as a pharmacist. One of my goals in life is to make a difference. Meredith gave me the opportunity to do just that.”
“I knew I wanted to complete two degrees, participate in the Meredith Autism Program, have an internship, and complete research. Instead of telling me to scale back my goals, my professors pushed me to pursue them and introduced me to even more opportunities.”
"Meredith taught me to speak up, and I took that with me into my internships. Capitalizing on my strengths, paired with my Meredith education, has prepared me to take on my career in the business world."
