Over winter break, Furman made minor changes to James B. Duke Library, adding two study rooms and 32 personal computers for student use.

“Furman Blood runs deep,” said Alumni Director Tom Triplitt. A Furman graduate himself, Triplitt stressed the importance of keeping Furman alumni involved with the university after they receive their degree.

This past May, senior KA Max Dutcher tilled a garden at his fraternity’s house to see how well it would grow over the summer. Since then, other fraternity brothers including seniors Will George, Nick Millette, and Steve Martin have tried out their own green thumbs. What began as a small organic garden of potted patio plants has grown into a miniature farm at the KA House.

This year, the Furman community will be asking another question: how will you remember the tenth anniversary of that tragic day?

A number of changes to Furman’s campus and facilities took place during the summer, including renovations to the campus bookstore and student housing. Housing and Residence Life intends for these changes to improve the quality of student life on campus.
