Established in 1837 in Greensboro, N.C., Guilford College is committed to equipping students with the skills, experiences, and perspectives necessary to create positive change in the world. Our curriculum emphasizes team-based, interdisciplinary projects that address real-world problems locally and globally. Guilford's Division III athletics — known as the Quakers — are part of the Old Dominion Athletic Conference. Women's varsity teams include rugby, cross country, basketball, softball, lacrosse, soccer, tennis, swimming, triathlon, and volleyball. Men's varsity teams include basketball, baseball, football, cross country, lacrosse, golf, tennis, and soccer. Our student-centered approach is evident in our small class sizes, averaging 14 students. This environment fosters exploration across diverse majors and minors, encouraging students to exceed their own expectations. Guilford is recognized in "Colleges That Change Lives" for its engaging, supportive, and challenging academic atmosphere. Guilford College’s social media channels are intended to support respectful engagement consistent with our Quaker ethos. The College may hide or remove comments that are excessively negative or that contain personal attacks, harassment, personal or confidential information, spam or solicitation or political campaigning, as determined by the College.

What becomes possible when we slow down and pay attention?

At Guilford, students, faculty and staff explored that question with sociologist Kristin Lawler during her lecture, ā€œAttention and Care in Higher Education,ā€ and a campus workshop.

The gatherings are part of Guilford’s partnership with Friends of Attention to help students reclaim their attention and make space for deep thinking, curiosity and connection—drawing on the College’s Quaker traditions of silence, listening and discernment.

For Professor Bronwyn Tucker, learning often starts with doing: getting outside, asking questions and seeing how food connects people to the land and to one another.

At Guilford, she has the freedom to teach that way. More important, students learn that way.
