Current Magazine
One weekend next April, women who lived in Mary Hobbs Hall, Guilford’s ground-breaking cooperative residence hall, during its first century will gather for a reunion. They speak of each other as family, justifiably proud of friendships that have spanned decades.
Among Guilford’s greatest strengths are the relationships forged here – between students, between students and their professors and among alumni. In this issue, you’ll read about many of them, from Mary Broos, retiring after 30 years as head athletic trainer, to the ties among the women who called Mary Hobbs Hall home.
We hope that their stories will inspire you to reconnect with one another and with our extended Guilford community.
Guilford College Magazine is published by the Office of Communications and Marketing to inform alumni and friends of college news and activities. In addition to Communications and Marketing staff, planning for each issue of the magazine involves Office of Advancement staff, faculty and other staff of the college, students, alumni and friends. The Outreach and Communications Committee of the Alumni Association Board of Directors participates in planning and critique sessions. Guilford College was chartered by the Religious Society of Friends in 1834 and opened as the coeducational New Garden Boarding School in 1837. It became a college in 1888 and today is a four-year liberal arts institution accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Guilford’s mission is to provide a transformative, practical and excellent liberal arts education that produces critical thinkers in an inclusive, diverse environment, guided by Quaker testimonies of community, equality, integrity, peace and simplicity and emphasizing the creative problem solving skills, experience, enthusiasm and international perspectives necessary to promote positive change in the world. The college’s core values are community, diversity, equality, excellence, integrity, justice and stewardship. |
