About Meredith Trainor

This is how Meredith is a Changemaker:
By working with the Changemakers team to develop partnerships and the University Ambassador program, and working with innovative organizations and academic institutions across all of our competitions. I hope to help empower grassroots changemakers to continue to develop their ideas and create new opportunities for partnerships, collaboration, and learning within this community, and I look forward to working with partner organizations and the academic community to help facilitate this process and catalyze opportunities for new partnerships and relationships that advance the priorities of the entrants to our competitions.

The place for which Meredith feels a fondness or connection:
I spent a summer living at a long-term ecological research field station in Alaska called Toolik, at Toolik Lake. The stations is nestled in the tussock tundra of northern Alaska against the backdrop of the Brooks Range, one of the US state of Alaska's most beautiful mountain ranges. We used to stand outside around a campfire and watch the Midnight Sun as it approached but never really went below the horizon, around the time of the summer solstice. Northern Alaska holds a special place in my heart.

The change Meredith passionately wants to happen:
Right now the change that most holds my attention is that I want to see a woman president leading the United States government. It would be amazing to see that glass ceiling shatter.
