Carter said he was "re ally heartened by the community response." While the events of the week showcase the spiritual oppor tunities of the community, outside visitors also catch a glimpse of life at Guilford. "One of the benefits is they go away impressed with what's hap pening at Guilford and they carry that message of Guilford back to their own community," said Carter, adding that this in turn makes the Quaker community more aware of Guilford. As a result, Carter said Quaker institutions are enthusias tic about hiring Guilford graduates. Kern said that Religious Empha sis Week "provides an opportunity fo the school community to reflect on the school, to celebrate the di versity of religious experience and background here at Guilford, and to examine our values and what is most meaningful to us." fefaruarp 4,1994 ♦Kristen Waehling urged Senators to go to "the Tools for Leadership" workshop that is being offered.
