Furman graduates recognized at reception
Furman University graduated nearly 30 students in December as the newest members of the class of 2019.
While most of the newly minted graduates will likely walk at formal commencement in spring 2020, a small cohort availed themselves to a quiet, more intimate setting at a reception that took place in Hartness Pavilion Wednesday, Dec. 18.
President Elizabeth Davis opened the event with remarks, followed by a welcome from Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost Ken Peterson. Graduates were recognized individually by Associate Academic Dean and Associate Professor of Spanish Jeremy Cass.
Degrees were conferred to five members of the Class of 2019: Samuel Reed Horton (sociology); Kirkland McKenzie Manning (English); Piper Nicole Powell (German studies, psychology); Quandarius Weems (communication studies); and Sean Wesley Simmons (music performance). Diplomas will be mailed to all graduates after the start of the new year.
