WQFS 90.9 the radio station at Guilford College in Greensboro. Typical of college radiation stations, WQFS provides a wide range of programming and music genres. Serving not just Guilford College but also the Piedmont region of North Carolina, WQFS is a student-run radio station made up of college and community DJs. For those who don't live nearby, the station is also streamed on the internet via Tunein. We stumbled upon a program in progress when we were touring an art exhibit at Founder's Hall on campus. We're not sure who the DJ was that day, but it was apparent she was enjoying herself and receptive to our spontaneous photo shoot.
Greensboro College is a local treasure. It was founded in 1837 by the Religions Society of Friends (Quakers). Until the the 1920s, the college was largely isolated, west of Greensboro. However, once the old trail to the college became Friendly Road, Guilford College became firmly linked to Greensboro. Guilford College adds so much to the Greensboro area. Truly, it is a local treasure, as is WQFS. As a local community member, you can even present a program on the station. Whether through education or the airwaves, Guilford College and WQFS continue to enrich Greensboro with opportunities for connection, creativity, and community.
