Furman has accomplished a lot over the past year, and the future looks bright and exciting. As we plan for our bicentennial celebration in 2026, we are reminded of where we came from, what we have accomplished and how much more we have to offer the Paladin community and the world at large.
The Furman brand is stretching farther than ever before. Of course, we don’t do it alone. It takes the continued support of students, faculty and staff, alumni, parents, community leaders, city officials and business partners.
We have a roadmap in place for making Furman the best it can be. By collaborating with our supporters, we can ensure that every student gets an education free of financial burdens, every fan can return to their home away from home for Homecoming, Dins Day and Furman Engaged, and every alumnus can pursue the dreams that started on the Furman campus.
Our third century will begin with many of our goals checked off and the excitement of new challenges, raised bars and a clear path to a successful future.
That Paladin Pride
