Changes

Since its founding in 1826, Furman has equipped doers, thinkers and creatives with tools to understand the past, know embrace the present and work towards the development of build a better future. Inspired by this rich tradition, how might we fuel a movement of innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship that links the liberal arts and humanities with the sciences to create sustainable solutions for the grand challenges of our times?

At Furman, students, faculty, administrators and alumni are breaking boundaries and crossing disciplines to ask bold questions about the role of the university in an age of constant change. How might we equip learners of all ages with tools for navigating uncertainty and bringing ideas to life? How might we put theory into practice by engaging the community in new ways? How might we work together across disciplines to create solutions that have real-world impact? By using tools like design thinking and social entrepreneurship as strategies for engaged learning, we're creating a strategy and vision that will move Furman forward. Join us.
