The Center facilitates opportunities for the Furman alumni community to engage in vocational reflection through the Becherer “What’s Calling You Now?” Alumni Programs. Our two major opportunities, an on-campus alumni retreat and summer pilgrimages, are offered to alumni to provide space for discernment and reflection and connection with other Furman alumni, faculty, staff, and the community. You can read more about these two components of the alumni programs in the Center, as well as stay updated on occasional Center alumni workshops and/or gatherings in your own community.
Alumni Programs
Alumni Retreat
The alumni retreats offer the opportunity for Furman alumni to gather with other alumni who enjoy sharing their stories–what life has taught them–and hearing what others have found inspiring and encouraging along the way.
Alumni Pilgrimages
Every other year, we invite alumni to join in deeply enriching pilgrimage experiences.
Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Course for Alumni
The Cothran Center is pleased to present an 8-week MBSR course in partnership with Health Sciences faculty, Dr. Meghan Slining.
