This month, the College began sharing information with faculty, staff, alumni and friends about the $60 million comprehensive Advancing Excellence campaign, for which $42.5 million has been raised in the quiet phase. The campaign will be announced in the media next week.
Funds raised through Advancing Excellence will help Guilford:
In a letter that accompanied the campaign materials, President KENT CHABOTAR said, “As members of our faculty and staff, you are dedicated to our students and contribute to Guilford’s culture of selfless service to others. You are the role models that influence our students and graduates to serve as well.”
He added, “All of you are important campaign ambassadors to our alumni and friends. I hope that you will join me in sharing the good news about what our students and your colleagues are doing so that donors will see the wisdom of investing in the College and its mission.
“Guilford needs the support of everyone in our community to make Advancing Excellence a success. Please consider how you might help us meet our goals, through your influence and your personal generosity. We will have more campus conversation about ways to do this in spring of 2012.”
