A brief description of the programs sponsored by the institution to support under-represented groups within the student body:
Furman has the multifaceted Legacies Mentorship Program that connects students, staff and faculty members of under-represented groups with similar academic and extra-curricular interests in relationships that foster leadership, encouragement, growth, achievement, compassion, integrity, empathy, and stability. The program has a three-tiered structure. The first tier consists of the mentor—a faculty or staff member. The second tier consists of the peer mentor—a sophomore, junior, or senior student. The third tier consists of the mentees—up to four incoming first-year students. The members of the Legacies Mentorship Program, both mentors and mentees, benefit from the close relationships that are formed in the program.
