Class of 1982 - 35th Reunion
Homecoming 2017, October 20 - 22


Thirty-five years ago this month, we took a long last look around the Furman campus, walked across the stage at the first graduation ceremony to be held at the spanking-new Paladin Stadium, and launched ourselves into the lives that led us to where we are now.  

How can it have been so many years?  Seems like yesterday we were driving to a vastly different downtown Greenville, in our 80s hair, for the obligatory date night at Capri’s.  Watching the Paladins play football at Sirrine Stadium and basketball at Memorial Auditorium.  Dodging the lovebirds in Ramsay parlor after dinner in the dining hall, hanging out with the kids at CESC’s May Day Play Day, and singing along at the Jimmy Buffet and Pablo Cruise concerts.  

Lots of things have changed over the years—who could have predicted an actual bar on Furman’s campus—but others have stayed the same, year after year.  Furman still feels like home, and our class still feels like family.

The University is planning an array of activities from which you might choose. Details will arrive in August.  Events specifically for the Class of ’82 are being arranged by a small group of your classmates and include:
