Read Q&A with President Elizabeth Davis<\/p>\n
In a wide-ranging interview with Black Box Magazine, Furman President Elizabeth Davis talked about everything from growing up in New Orleans and playing in a band with Wynton Marsalis to what it means to be Furman\u2019s first female president. She also discussed her views on the cost and value of education as well as her vision for Furman and its surrounding community.<\/p>\n
