In light of Furman's historical commitment to engaged learning, members of the university community are coming together in new ways to imagine a future where creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship are more than words on a page. Furman's strong focus on undergraduate research, faculty-student relationships and community engagement sets precedence for a movement of thought and action that brings together the disciplines to create courses, programs and experiences that equip students of all ages with the tools for solving the grand challenges of our times. Through this movement, Furman will stand firm its identity as a leading liberal arts institution and give new meaning to engaged learning.
