Guilford activities: “One of my favorite activities is the International Festival, which is held in April and seeks to highlight the different cultures on campus. There is a lot of great music and food. It is a beautiful sight!� Why Guilford: “My admission counselor made me feel safe and secure in Guilford. I did not want to be a number to an institution, I wanted to be a person.�
Guilford opportunities: “As a Bonner Scholar, I have begun to understand how intricate the things I participate in are, how connected they are to who I am. I am currently the Student Leader of the Community AIDS Awareness Project and in this role, I have become more committed to people rather than a cause.�

Career preparation: “Guilford taught me how to take a topic and make it my own. I learned to engage education in a way that was motivating and interesting and to look beyond the textbook to real world applications and implications.� After Guilford: “I will be attending law school starting in the fall of 2012. The versatility and practicality of a law education is one that can be applied to many fields and disciplines. Guilford has helped pave the way for me to succeed in many professional opportunities and I look forward to discovering them.�
Below: Guilford students enjoy a variety of campus activities, including intramural athletics like dodgeball and hanging out with friends in the warm North Carolina sunshine.
