Guilford is known for producing stellar graduates. One reason might be because the College is home to equally impressive faculty and staff. On Monday, two of those faculty members and a longtime staff member were honored alongside students at the College’s annual spring celebration of students, faculty and staff.

Art Professor Mark Dixon ’96, Assistant Professor of Public Health Aleks Babic ’07 and Sandy Pearman ’80, longtime Director of Enrollment Information were honored with the Bruce B. Stewart ’61 Awards for Teaching Excellence and Community Service, respectively. It was the time since awards were first given in 2006 that all of the recipients were Guilford graduates.
