Family involvement bolsters Furman student success and is a powerful part of the Paladin community. Parent & Family Council members support Furman University through gifts of time, service, and philanthropic resources to help ensure excellence for all students. They serve as ambassadors for the university and meet twice a year to deepen their connections to Furman.
