In the SpotlightMeet Meg! Margaret (Meg) Quinn is a graduate of the 2010 class of the New Opportunity School for Women at Lees-McRae College, Banner Elk, NC. Meg remembers "how scared [she] was the first day she arrived" for the NOSW 3-week residential session and that her "self-esteem grew by leaps and bounds." In the fall of 2015 Meg graduated from Lees-McRae with BS degrees in both Criminal Justice and Psychology. She now serves as the director of NOSW at Bluefield College. Meg previously served as a member of the NOSW Foundation board and is shown in the photo on the right. We invite you to support the NOSW FOUNDATION in its mission.
