Each semester we facilitate Conversations. Faculty and/or staff members from the Furman community share their vocational stories, along with their basic beliefs and values, with students and guests. A community meal is also provided. All students, faculty, staff, and community members are invited to attend.
The next Conversations Dinner will be held on Monday, September 15, 2025. The speakers will be Melinda Menzer, Chair and Professor of English, and Bob Richey, Head Coach of the Men’s Basketball team.

If you’d like to watch previous Conversations dinner stories, those can be found in Furman’s library system via the link here: Cothran Center Conversations on Meaning and Purpose
