Campus Extras 7 A sturdy student foundation By Beth Hall In 1974 Meredith's Studeiit Fouodaiion was created to unite student* and alumnae in benefiting Meredith College. Twenty-two years later. Student Foundaiion is as sturdy as ever. The 1996-1997 organization consists of oioeteen members. TTiis year’s foundaiion is fairly represented by sophomores, juniors, and seniors who were nominated, inierviewed and approved by a coiiunittee within last year’s Student Foundation. And it is the members who make tlie foundation productive. The foundation's advisor is Mary Kate Keith, who has already been the advisor for two years. Keith said, “Student Foundation as a great way to meet new friends and serve Mereditli, not only ihe students here now but ihe greater community of alumnae and others wlio would like to help support Meredith." The otlier part of tlie foundation is the executive council. This year's president is Liane Jolly, a senior, who lias been in Student Foundation for two years. The vice-president of admissions is CarolineBrookes, and thevice-presidentofalumnaeandparentsisRandiLigon, There is also a vice- president of giving. Kelley McLawhorn. She is in charge of donations and fund-raising projects like the “Vote-a-thon” held every year. Finishing up the executive board is Cheryi Taylor, the sccrctary. Sponsoring various campus-wide activities is how the foundation involves the entire Meredith community. Recently, Student Foundation was responsible for the annua! Family Day. In the spring, the foundation will sponsor the “Fast Aid Kit" program, This program t^es place during the spring exams and allows parents the opportunity to purchase a bucket with energy-inducing candy and an encouraging personal note to help the studems survive the exams. After parents have purchased the “Fast Aid Kit", Student Foundation members are responsible for distributing the buckets to the students. The group also sends representatives to high schools to speak about Meredith and to different alumnae receptions throughout the year. Chi October 7 at 6 p. m„ the foundation will hold an ice crcam social for freshmen at the Mae Grimmer Alumnae House. Sundaes will be served along with information on Studeni Foundation, This infonnation will be important to freshmen int^ested in being involved in tlie foundation next year.
