As President of Meredith College, Dr. Aimee Sapp brings thirty years of higher education leadership and a transformative vision to one of the nation's premier women's institutions. Her strategic approach rests on three core principles: accelerating institutional growth, cultivating high-performing teams, and creating enduring value.
At William Woods University, Dr. Sapp's tenure as Provost demonstrated her ability to execute bold change. She led a complete reimagining of the university's academic portfolio, introducing market-aligned programs and expanding the institution's global footprint. This comprehensive transformation strengthened both the university's competitive position and its bottom line.
A graduate of a women's college herself, Dr. Sapp's commitment to developing next-generation leaders is deeply personal. Her doctorate in Communication from the University of Missouri underpins her expertise in organizational dynamics and leadership effectiveness - skills she's consistently leveraged to drive institutional success.
Beyond the boardroom, Dr. Sapp is an avid traveler and culinary enthusiast who finds joy in creative cooking. She shares life with her husband Travis and their adult children. Their two charmingly stubborn dogs provide daily lessons in patience and persistence - qualities that serve her well in higher education leadership.
