| Guilford College recently launched a new undergraduate course in entrepreneurship in which students address the problem of economic exclusion. Working with local community leaders, students build real ventures relevant to the local community using human-centered design, lean start up, and business model canvas methods. Other new initiatives aimed at solving broader challenges of equity and inclusion include a local partnership for refugee entrepreneurship, a coordinated effort with over 500 colleges to advocate on immigration issues supporting international and refugee students, and academic exchanges with the University of Pretoria. Guilford College is a historic liberal arts college in Greensboro, NC. Its mission 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.
