Guilford College
Updated November, 2011
Guilford College is guided by a strong Quaker heritage, focused on creating risk takers, independent thinkers and empowered intellectuals driving by a strong moral compass. Guilford opened in 1837 as an institution to serve the children of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in the area. As it evolved into a more open institution and liberal arts college, Guilford based its seven core values -- community, diversity, equality, excellence, integrity, justice and stewardship – on the Quaker testimonies of integrity, simplicity, equality, peace and direct and immediate access to God/Truth that have been incorporated into the curriculum.
Part of the North Carolina consortium within the Pulitzer Center’s Campus Consortium, Guilford is one of only 23 colleges in the nation selected to participate in the Corella Bertram F. Bonner Foundation’s Bonner Scholarship Program. The program's mission is to transform the lives of students and their campuses and communities through community service. The Bonner Foundation is also a partner with the Pulitzer Center.
Among honors bestowed upon the College and its students: The Guilfordian, Guilford’s weekly student newspaper, received First Place with Special Merit for 2009-2010 by the American Scholastic Press Association. Guilford is one of only 49 colleges in the US named a ‘best buy’ by The Fiske Guide to Colleges (2012 edition), which examines cost, academic ratings and quality of student life on campus.
