Meredith College

Meredith College is a private women's liberal arts college and coeducational graduate school in Raleigh, North Carolina. As of 2025 Meredith enrolls approximately 1,600 women in its undergraduate programs and 275 men and women in its graduate programs. In 1997, the college moved away from a direct connection with the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina. Meredith began construction at the current location on Hillsborough Street near North Carolina State University in 1924, and students began attending classes there in 1926.[5] The campus covers 225 acres (0.91 km2) and is located close to both Raleigh-Durham International Airport and Research Triangle Park. In 1980 an angel was chosen as the school sports mascot, but in the summer of 2007 this was changed to the "Avenging Angels". In April 2022, the school renamed Joyner Hall, named for white supremacy advocate James Yadkin Joyner, as part of its anti-racism initiatives.
