The History of
Guilford Technical Community College
In 1965, the school became Guilford Technical Institute and was given the authority to grant associate degrees. The school's academic programs expanded, campus construction increased and its enrollment continued to grow. In 1983 the State Board of Community Colleges approved GTI's request to add a college transfer program. GTI changed its name to Guilford Technical Community College.
The Guilford Industrial Education Center was under the leadership of Bruce B. Roberts who served as the Center's first director from 1958 to 1965. As a technical institute and community college GTCC has seen a total of six college presidents from 1965 to the present.
