About PPS: Education that Transforms Our Students, Our Community, Our World
The Center for Principled Problem Solving at Guilford College was established in 2007 and is charged with organizing and coordinating campus efforts to incorporate Principled Problem Solving across the curriculum. The CPPS is also a resource for students, faculty, staff, and community members, helping them to identify and secure resources necessary for examing our community's core values and teachings and in putting them to work in the world.
Guilford's Strategic Long Term Plan,Creative Leadership for the 21st Century, states that Principled Problem Solving (PPS) can be understood as the central, unifying theme of the transformative Guilford College eduation. As such, PPS seeks to embody the practical liberal arts tradition for which Guilford is known, identifying problems and opportunities in need of attention and bringing it to them. PPS is shaped by the College's Quaker heritage and driven by our core values in seeking to fulfill the potential of education to reshape and renew our world. Principled Problem Solving contributes not only to a practical education but also, through active engagement in real world situations, contributes innovative solutions to existing and emerging problems in the community, state, nation and world.
More information on Principled Problem Solving is available on our About PPS web page and in a feature article from the Winter 2006 Guilford College Magazine posted in the Related Links box on this page.
