Randy Doss, vice president for enrollment and marketing, has create a page on the Guilford website with information about entertainment in Greensboro, and he wants feedback.”This idea came from a Retention Committee meeting with students,” Doss said. “It’s our attempt to help students feel connected to the college and the city.”

So far, he’s created sections such as On Campus Events and Announcements, Guilford Sports News, 24-Hour Restaurants, Great Outdoor Places, Places to Party, Movies, Theatre, Music, and Where to Buy Things.

There are also links to Banner Web, Lotus Notes, The First Year Center, the Greensboro Public Library, and to the UNCG website, which has a calendar of daily events on their campus. Doss also plans to have student-run message boards and a link to Community Senate’s web page.

First-year student Ireys Baucum said, “I think it would be good, if students actually use it. But that still requires motivation from students.”

Senior Bear Bell stated, “I think I would be at serious risk of harm if I was not given access to information about places to dine in the Guilford area. People feel like Greensboro’s in the middle of nowhere, but in fact there’s a lot going on.”

The site will be complete by next fall, but Doss said, “The more input I get, the sooner it can be finalized.”
