“Save Guilford College is a group of over 3000 alumni and F/friends of Guilford College who are bound together by our experience and love of Guilford and are organizing to save its unique Quaker liberal arts identity, with integrity and a commitment to diversity and service. Like many colleges and universities around the country, Guilford has struggled over the past several years to stay true to its core values and strengths while also carving out a path to financial sustainability. We are dedicated to upholding Quaker values, a robust interdisciplinary liberal arts program, and we are working together to build an even brighter future. The world needs Guilford College now more than ever. Guilford College changed our lives. These are our stories.”
