16th annual Furman Engaged: 689 students participate in 724 presentations

April 24, 2024 by SC Independent Colleges & Universities

GREENVILLE, S.C. (courtesy furman.edu) — Classrooms on Furman University’s campus buzzed on April 12 with panel discussions, presentations, and performances as students shared what they’ve learned in the 16th annual Furman Engaged.

Furman Engaged provides students opportunities to present work they’ve accomplished in engaged learning, a hallmark of The Furman Advantage. Internships, research, study away, writing seminars and musical works were all on display. This year, a record 689 students participated in 724 sessions that took place across campus.

The topics ranged from business and accounting internships to piano music of Bohemia, the intersectional class resistance in the book “Bastard out of Carolina” (written by Greenville native Dorothy Allison) to cryptological warfare. Furman Engaged wrapped up with the traditional end-of-day celebration followed by the Spring Concert with Teezo Touchdown.

“Our students are inspiring, and Furman Engaged gives them a chance to shine and transcend their positions as students and become experts, sharing their knowledge with the community,” said Beth Pontari, interim provost and vice president for Academic Affairs. “It’s equally inspiring to see our faculty and staff pour so much into making this happen. The entire day is extraordinary.”
