Join us for Furman Homecoming 2012!
The Class of 1982 will celebrate your 30th Reunion this year and we hope you will come back to campus for this special event. The weekend of October 19-21 will be a great opportunity to celebrate Furman Homecoming traditions, cheer on the Paladins, and reunite with your classmates.
Below you will find the details of your class reunion celebration. Please take note of the many other activities on the full Homecoming Schedule, including the many departmental drop-ins and football game against Georgia Southern kicking off at 1:30 p.m.
Friday, October 19, 2012 from 7-10:00 p.m.
Rooftop party at New York Life / Certus Bank building in the West End, downtown Greenville, S.C.
Host John Riddle will welcome us at 935 S. Main Street to share a fantastic view of the historic West End and the fabulous Fluor Field from the fourth floor of his office building. This building is to the left of Liberty Tap Room – just look for the large “935” above the door. There will be barbecue and dessert served; cost is $8 per person. BYOB. This is a great time to mix, mingle and renew friendships. Please pre-register so we will know how many to expect. Casual attire suggested. For more information, contact John at tramacar@aol.com or 864.979.7076.
Saturday, October 20, 2012 from 4:30 – 7:30 p.m.
Reception at Younts Conference Center, South campus
Join us for dinner at the Younts Conference Center immediately following the football game. (And yes, we know Younts wasn’t around when we were in school but it looks like a fun place to have a party. For directions, click here). Delicious food and memorabilia from our Furman years will speed that trip down memory lane. Remember, this was the era of disco, early Madonna, mid-Michael Jackson, Valley girls, MTV videos and Reagan. We’ll have photos and other prompts to remind you how far you have evolved. The cost is $25 per person. Casual attire is suggested. Please pre-register.
Register now for the weekend festivities!

Make a gift to Furman
Homecoming is a great time to send that special message of thanks to alma mater that gave us so much. Feel free to designate your gift to an academic department, student organization, or other program that was meaningful to you during your time at Furman. If you decide not to designate your gift, we will add it to the Furman United Scholarship. Help boost your class's participation and give now.
