| Mission | |
| School mission: | Guilford College draws on Quaker and liberal arts traditions to produce lifelong learners and agents of change in the world. Student-centered instruction nurtures each individual amid an intentionally diverse community. A values-rich educational experience explores the ethical dimension of knowledge and promotes honesty, compassion, integrity, courage and respect for the individual. A challenging academic program fosters critical and creative thinking through analysis, inquiry, communication, consensus building, problem solving and leadership. A global perspective values people of other cultures and the natural environment in which we all live. Service opportunities forge a connection between thought and action. The college's core values are based on, and consistent with, the five Quaker testimonies. Indeed, three testimonies -- community, quality and integrity -- are also core values. Core values are the essential and enduring tenets of the organization. They are: Community, Diversity, Equality, Excellence, Integrity, Justice and Stewardship. Guilford College's mission statement is "To provide a transformative, practical, and excellent liberal arts education that produces critical thinkers in an inclusive, diverse environment, guided by Quaker testimonies of community, equality, integrity, peace and simplicity and emphasizing the creative problem solving skills, experience, enthusiasm and international perspectives necessary to promote positive change in the world." |
