"Unlike most of the selective liberal arts colleges located in rural America, Guilford College is in a city with all of its social, cultural, economic, and educational amenities. Having Greensboro become even more of a "go to" and "stay there" destination in cooperation with our corporate and higher education partners will help us recruit and train students who will become leaders of our community and state in future years."
