A willingness to say yes — to new people, new challenges, new versions of herself — has been the heartbeat of Zaria Porter’s ’27 college experience at Guilford. “Here, I didn’t know anyone, and that made it easier to try new things. No one had expectations of me. I could just be open,” she says. For Zaria, that openness has paid back tenfold.
