Upcoming CLP Events
The intent of the Cultural Life Program (CLP) is to encourage students to attend a variety of high quality events that provide enriching, challenging cultural experiences. Collectively, events designated as CLPs should engage students in a spectrum of issues, ideas, and artistic expressions from various disciplines and cultures. Events foster a sense of community on campus and help those in attendance see multiple compelling and legitimate views on cultural issues, inspiring a life-long pursuit of intellectual fulfillment and cultural engagement.
We have concluded this year’s CLP events! Check back soon for the next academic year’s selection!
Calendar of Events
MCF has lots of ways to be in fellowship, whether on Furman’s campus or at Vista House! The downstairs of Vista House is open to all Furman students Monday-Friday 9am-9pm.
