Every year, the Engaged Living First-Year Experience invites interested students from Furman’s incoming first-year class to join our community. Our community’s residents are campus ambassadors, student research fellows, and leaders in student government, fraternity and sorority life, and other organizations.
Some are student-athletes while others perform in campus productions. No matter how you choose to be involved at Furman, the Engaged Living First-Year Experience program ensures that your first-year experience will be rewarding and fun.
Interested students with any questions should contact Lillian Essaf at lillian.essaf@furman.edu or Dean Brad Harmon at brad.harmon@furman.edu.
