Guilford College Magazine

Guilford College Magazine is published in November and May of each year by the Office of Communications and Marketing.

Spring 2010


A pdf version of the magazine is available for download.

In recent years, Guilford has increased its focus on environmental sustainability, which is consistent with the college's values. But those values - based on Quaker testimonies - aren't new, and neither is Guilford's long-standing cultural emphasis on careful stewardship of the world around us.

In this issue, you'll read about people who devoted their time to environmental and community sustainability long before it was fashionable: people like Kathy Treanor '90, founder of the Piedmont Land Conservancy, biology professor Lynn Moseley and underwater preservationist Dan Lenihan '67. You'll also read about Jack Reynolds '65, who helped found an orphanage in Haiti more than a decade ago, and Coach Jack Jensen, who inspired community on the court and the course, and in the classroom.

As Guilford prepares for a year of sustainability in 2010-11, it's a good time to remember that "green" isn't just about reducing waste. Ultimately, it's about enhancing life.

 

Guilford College Magazine is being read online by more alumni and friends than ever before.

Earlier this fall, we informed graduates from the class of 1990 forward that we would be e-mailing them a link to the online magazine. Only a few people responded with a request to remain on the mailing list.

When we asked graduates in classes prior to 1990 if they would like a link to the online magazine instead of a printed copy, more than 500 took us up on the offer.

Reducing the number of printed and mailed copies affirms Guilford’s commitment to financial and environmental stewardship.

In the future, if you would like to receive a link to the online magazine instead of a printed copy, please e-mail us at advancement@guilford.edu.
