The Meredith College Board of Trustees, students, faculty and staff are dedicated to core values drawn from Meredith's mission and heritage, including its founding as a women's college by North Carolina Baptists. These values serve as the foundation for our programs, our interactions with each other and our outreach beyond the campus:

Integrity…upholding high standards of truth and personal honor

Intellectual freedom…fostering a spirit of inquiry, openness and respect for dissent

Academic excellence…promoting scholarship, intellectual challenge, hard work and lifelong learning

Responsible citizenship…contributing to positive change on the campus, in the community and in all parts of the world through ethical leadership and service

Personal development…seeking intellectual, personal and spiritual growth through structured and individual learning and experience

Religious diversity…avowing the College's Christian heritage while affirming all faiths and spiritual beliefs
