Guilford students learn outside the classroom every day!

At Guilford, learning doesn’t stop at the classroom door. Sometimes it begins thousands of miles away.

Last year, loyal alumni more than doubled the number of donors from 900 to 2,021. Impressive! Now an anonymous donor has issued a $50,000 challenge grant – $50 for every gift from alumni who have not given this fiscal year – to a maximum of $50,000 from 1,000 donors. Our alma mater is strong thanks to rightsizing and community affirmation of the enduring value of a Quaker education in the 21st century. No gift of support is too small to show your support for Guilford College. Make a donation of any size now and unlock a $50 match for the college. Go Quakers!

📣 Upcoming Events: 📣

📅 Thursday, April 30th - Saturday, May 2nd
📍 Sternberger Auditorium, Founders Hall

This play will be performed as a fundraiser for Guilford College's Department of Theatre Studies featuring Tiffany Holland '97 as Sharon, recently divorced and looking for a roommate to share her Iowa home. Theatre Studies Co-Chair Beth Ritson, as Robyn, is searching for a place to hide — and a chance to start over. As Sharon begins to uncover Robyn’s secrets, she is drawn toward her own long-buried desire for transformation. The Roommate is a dark comedy about what it takes to re-route your life — and what happens when things start to spin out of control.

This month's message from Jean: upcoming commencement and other events, an update on enrollment and a request for alumni to help with GAAN's efforts, celebrating a successful March Madness, a new partnership with Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist, and the future of Guilford's Business Summit.

Jean moving to monthly updates has caused our social media team to lose track of time. Please continue to have patience as we play catch up. If there's anyone out there wanting to join AFOG's social media team - we'd love to have you!
