The Echo

Since it’s birth in 1893, The Echo has developed a rich history, serving the Furman community not only as an esteemed publication of student literary and art works but also, and perhaps more, importantly, as a location of conversation and communion among writers, artists, and readers.

The Echo seeks to publish innovative work by promising writers and artists and to expose members of the editorial board to the process of editing and producing a literary magazine. In addition to the printed magazine, we are able to offer online versions of this and previous years’ editions, thanks to Furman University Scholar Exchange, at https://scholarexchange.furman.edu/echo/
