Planning Committees

The advisory board and steering committee ensured that the new complex will provide exemplary space for teaching and learning, and that it will serve Furman students and alumni and, through them, society at large.


Science Advisory Board

As a student at Furman I saw new worlds opened by interest­ing science professors, teaching under one roof. This encour­aged interdisciplinary thinking, which was important in my own research later on and led me to ‘connect the pieces’ as I worked to develop the maser and laser.
