Furman Engaged 2021 Reflection Contest

There are many ways to participate in Furman Engaged – as a presenter and an attendee.  The program features students sharing myriad types of engaged learning experiences from all disciplines and majors represented at Furman.

For those who attend Furman Engaged, we encourage you to reflect upon what you hear and see throughout the day.  For those who do presentations, we encourage you to think not only about the engaged learning experience you share, but also how the act of sharing that experience with the Furman Community affected your learning.

Students can submit reflections for one of or both of the prompts.  $100 prizes will be awarded for the most compelling reflection in each category.  The deadline to submit your reflection is April 23.  Prizes will be awarded by May 3rd.
