Leadership Awards

Every spring, the Shucker Center for Leadership Development and the Division of Student Life host the Student Leadership Awards and Recognition Night. This reception honors Furman’s finest and brightest student leaders and organizations for their leadership roles and service. We present awards in 17 different categories, and recipients are also recognized on a plaque in the Trone Student Center.
