Furman draws praise from Gallup for its use of CliftonStrengths

Furman University figures prominently in a recent LinkedIn webcast from Gallup about CliftonStrengths and its use in the university setting. In the program, “How to Increase Campus Engagement Using Strengths,” Gallup says the more students know their strengths (Analytical, Achiever, Woo, Arranger, Maximizer, etc.) the more likely they are to be engaged in the education they are receiving. Furman’s Kim Keefer, a StrengthsFinder coach, contributes to the conversation and explains how Pathways is a natural way for undergrads to get an early introduction to CliftonStrengths for Students. The webcast describes Furman as a “best-practices, Strengths-based campus,” noting Furman’s use of student ambassadors and leaders who come alongside their peers to engage with them outside the classroom.
