“This is a mere token of our appreciation for all you do to make this a great University,” Meares said.
Barbara Meadors supervised the remodeling and expansion of the Chancellor’s Residence to accommodate a wide variety of University events. She hosts a variety of University functions from the Alumni Holiday Drop-in to the Back-to-School social for all employees.
“We couldn’t do this without the extraordinary efforts of our First Lady,” Meares said. Barbara Meadors said she couldn’t do it without the help of many others on campus.
“I could not do this without the help of many people on campus, including Physical Plant, Housekeeping, Sodexho Food Services and Events Planning,” she said. “They carry out the ideas I come up with.”
The resolution was framed and read:

promote the campus through her generosity to students, faculty, staff,

Residence, hosting hundreds of events over the past six years for
the benefit of the campus and local community;

at Pembroke hereby honors and expresses its gratitude to Barbara
