Another Guilford Commencement is in the books! It was a beautiful day on campus filled with artistic expression, inspiring words, and excitement for the future. About 280 Guilford College graduates filled the seats under a green canopy of leafy trees, supported and surrounded by family, friends, alumni, staff, and faculty. Student speaker Judia "JuJu" Holton '18 and Dennis Quaintance of Quaintance-Weaver Restaurants and Hotels, who was also awarded an honorary degree, spoke to the crowd.
