About
Meghan is a 2013 Carroll College graduate. She joined the Conferencing and Events services team in August of 2025 but has been an Assistant Women’s Soccer Coach since 2012.
Meghan’s roots run deep in Carroll College with her family being connected and supporting the Carroll College Mission since the 1960’s. O'Connell Hall was completed in 1966 and is named after her late Great Grandfather, J. Eddy O'Connell, who was the Chairman of Carroll's Development Council and a very generous benefactor. He also donated funds to create the original concession stand in the P.E. Center. Her late Grandfather, James (Jim) O'Connell, served on the Carroll College Board of Trustees from 1981-1998, and was Chairman for 6 of those years. For his years of service and staunch support of Carroll, the college conferred its Business Appreciation Award on the James O'Connell family. As well as receiving an Honorary Doctorate in Humane Letters from Carroll in 1998, he and his wife, Murel, received the college's Borromeo Fellowship Award and the Insignis Award. During his tenure on the board, the O'Connell family members contributed significant gifts to the college's campaigns including the Fortin Science Center Campaign. Presently, the O'Connell family members contribute significantly to O'Connell Hall and also help support Carroll College Athletics. Meghan wants to follow in her Great Grandfather’s and Grandfather’s shoes by continuing to help connect and support the Carroll College community.
