Why Guilford?
“The gold coach at Guilford College called me at home in India. I heard from a lot of other schools, but no one else gave me that kind of attention. Guilford was small, personal, and it was always helpful. Where else can you interact so often and easily with a college’s president and vice presidents?”
Guilford Faculty
“I had great professors and three of them in particular gave to me generously – I spent massive amounts of time in their offices. Their help continues to shape my life and career.”
Career Preparation
“Assimilation is very important for any field of endeavor, and that means an ability to communicate. At Guilford, the students are required to speak in class. That has proved invaluable. I’d say the most important things that Guilford taught me were how to work hard, how to write, and how to communicate clearly and effectively.”
After Guilford
“I attended the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and then worked at Morgan Stanley and for Barclays Capital in New York, before taking my current job as a research analyst for Fidelity Investments in Boston.”
