To enhance LGBTQIA+ visibility and belonging on Furman’s campus, we welcome all members of the Furman community to celebrate Pride Mondays by wearing their Furman Pride T-shirts or other wearables (hats, pins, wristbands, etc.) on the first Monday of each month.
Members of the community can also participate in a group Pride photo by the fountains outside Duke Library at 11:45 am on Pride Mondays. You can access this information via a downloadable PDF here.
