If someone asked you to describe what “Women of Guilford” means to you, what would you say? Smart? Creative? Driven? Leader? Trusted? How about all of these and more?
In the spring of 2015, alumni, students, faculty, administrators and staff will celebrate everything that makes the Women of Guilford unique and special in a first ever gathering called the “Women of Guilford, A Multigenerational Celebration.”
From April 10 – 12, 2015, Guilford will focus on the contributions that women have made and continue to make to the Guilford community. While we all came to Guilford to learn, and we want to do that during this celebration, there will be lots of time for renewing old friendships between returning alums and meeting students and faculty.
The idea for this gathering started with women alumnae and has grown to include faculty, students and our new president. The weekend will be organized and planned by women of all ages who want to connect or reconnect to Guilford. We know women have played a significant part in Guilford’s history and will in its future — and it is time for all of us to acknowledge and own that in a powerful way.
For us to truly be inclusive across generations, your help and ideas are needed. If you have not joined the “Women of Guilford” group on Facebook, please do, and join the conversation about the event.
We need a logo for this event — can you help? Our most pressing need is for a two-color logo that will capture the spirit of the “Women of Guilford: A Multigenerational Celebration.” We would love this to be designed by a current or past female student, faculty, administrator or staff member.
Please send your design ideas to Louise Baxter ‘83 at [email protected] by Nov. 7. The winning design will be used for the event, and the designer will receive gifts contributed by Women of Guilford alumnae.
If you want to talk with someone on campus for more details and how you can be part of this celebration, ask Julie Winterich, Karrie Manson or Miriam Biber for more details.
We want to create opportunities for all women to help with this weekend celebration. Please join “Women of Guilford” on Facebook, and add your voice to the dialogue.
