The Campaign for Our Third Century
As we approach our third century and contemplate the challenges our students will face in the decades ahead, it is imperative that we lift all that we do to another level. Guided by our strengths as a university, focused on learning experiences that empower students to achieve their most inspiring ambitions, we will do more than meet our mission and advance Furman’s reputation for excellence. As we become a national model for higher education, we will, through our graduates, influence action and ideas across the 21st century.
