A fourth generation descendant of immigrants, Meredith McQuaid received her B.A., M.A., and J.D. from the University of Minnesota. In 2007, she became the first person to hold the title of Associate Vice President and Dean of International Programs at the University.  There were many other 'firsts' in her tenure including creating the first positions in the country for directors of internationalizing the curriculum, and international health, safety, and compliance; and the first position dedicated to mental health in study abroad. She helped launch the University’s first office abroad (Beijing), the Immigration Response Team, the International Programs Council, and the Passport Office. Her impact was felt nationally and internationally through her professional organization engagement, including president of NAFSA: Association of International Educators; board member and committee chair of the Association of International Education Administrators (AIEA); etc.
