"We also work with the donors who put all these restrictions on their gift to sort of make it a little more open," said Thompson. "We encourage them not to do that."
The bulk of restricted gifts raised goes toward scholarships.
Unrestricted giving is what Thompson wants in order to maintain the lights and heat and other things that students want and need at the college. Unrestricted giving can also be used for building renovations and other things on campus. The Archdale renovations, for instance, were funded by unrestricted giving.

Chabotar's report also covers enrollment, which is at a record high for both CCE and traditional students.
According to the report, "Spring 2010 enrollment numbers are very strong. While numbers are unofficial until Feb. 1, we will likely generate about $500,000 of tuition revenue (net of financial aid) above the approved 'worst case' budget."
Dean for Continuing Education Rita Serotkin works to recruit CCE students, while Vice President for Enrollment Services Randy Doss works to recruit traditional students. Because the two areas are so vastly different, Serotkin and Doss do not work together during the recruitment process.
Serotkin utilizes very different methods than Doss in an effort to recruit a different type of student than traditional students. There are no high schools to visit and no parents to e-mail. Instead Serotkin uses radio, television, newspapers, brochures, job fairs, education days and info sessions to advertise to adult students.
The typical thrust of the newspaper ads is, "It's never too late to get your degree." The brochures feature current or graduated Guilford students who talk about their experiences at Guilford.
While there is some "melt" with CCE students, Serotkin mentioned that it is typically because of illness or job loss and that most CCE students who leave Guilford prior to graduation do so with the intention of returning to finish out their degrees.
