“We welcome Kristen to Guilford College and the student- and faculty-centered role of Registrar,” said Maria. “Over more than 20 years in higher education positions with increasing responsibility, she has demonstrated a commitment to student success, collaboration with colleagues and problem solving, all of which are critical expectations of our Registrar. I look forward to her leadership in this important position at the College.”
