SUMMARY:Yale Professor\, Furman alumnus to deliver lecture on 'What Really Matters?'
DESCRIPTION:Yale University Professor\, 1968 Furman University alumnus and former Furman trustee Robert Blocker will present the annual L.D. Johnson Lecture on “What Really Matters?” Thursday\, March 20\, at 6:30 p.m. in Daniel Memorial Chapel on the Furman campus. The event is free and open to the public. \nSince 1985\, the L.D. Johnson Lecture on “What Really Matters?” has offered the Furman community the opportunity to hear from both Furman alumni and faculty on the issue of what matters most and how that impacts our culture and ways of being in the world. \nThis lecture\, “What Really Matters: Love\,” challenges attendees to reflect\, analyze and engage their thinking and practices as civic citizens\, coworkers and friends. Blocker’s work in the arts and as an academic leader enable him to address the issue of how love matters in the ways we see\, understand and navigate our world today. The event provides the Furman community with an opportunity to interact with a distinguished scholar and Furman alum who will address a larger cultural issue. Blocker will share his experiences\, training and research\, offering insights into why this issue is pertinent to our work and on the broader world stage. \nDescribed by the Los Angeles Times as an artist of “great skill and accomplishment\,” Blocker\, the William Edward Gilbert Professor of Piano at Yale University\, has forged an inspired career as a transformative academic leader\, an accomplished pianist and an impassioned educator. He also holds appointments in Yale’s School of Management as affiliate professor of leadership strategies and as senior advisor to the president of Yale. From 1995 to 2023\, he served as the Henry and Lucy Moses Dean of Music and Professor of Piano at the Yale School of Music. In 1999\, he was awarded South Carolina’s highest civilian honor\, the Order of the Palmetto. \nLearn more about Blocker at Yale University. \nFor more information\, please contact Vaughn CroweTipton\, associate vice president\, associate professor\, and university chaplain at Furman University at vaughn.crowetipton@furman.edu and 864-294-2133.

SUMMARY:'First Friends' author Gary Ginsberg to present Oct. 19
DESCRIPTION:The event is sponsored by the American History Book Club and Forum and Furman University \nAuthor Gary Ginsberg will discuss his bestselling book “First Friends: The Powerful\, Unsung (and Unelected) People Who Shaped Our Presidents\,” with Furman University Trustee Alec Taylor on Thursday\, Oct. 19\, at The Poinsett Club in Greenville. \nThe evening\, sponsored by the American History Book Club and Forum (AHBC) and Furman University\, begins with a book signing at 5:30 p.m. followed by the conversation with the author at 6. \nFor more information and to purchase tickets ($50)\, visit furman.edu/ahbc or email ahbc@furman.edu. \nThis year’s A.V. and Kate Huff History Scholars student and alumni award winners will also be recognized at the event. The awards are named for A.V. Huff\, a former Furman professor\, dean and vice president for academic affairs\, and his wife Kate Huff\, a former elementary school teacher. \nThe winner of the A.V. Huff History Scholars Award is Furman University student Bryant Garrison ’25 of Six Mile\, South Carolina. An accounting major on the pre-med track\, Garrison will conduct an oral history project involving residents of The Woodlands at Furman retirement community\, bringing to light national\, local and Furman history. He recently completed a research project for the Friends of Bald Rock. \nThe Kate Huff History Scholars award will go to four area teachers who are alumni. \nAshley Causey ’97 M’05\, a social studies teacher at Hillcrest High School who earned both undergraduate and graduate degrees from Furman\, will use the $1\,000 grant for materials related to an extensive unit on the relationship between ethnic identities and genocides. \nCassie Heinz ’12 M’13\, Stefanie Garrett ’12 M’13\, and Jessica Rahn ’07\, M’10\, fifth-grade teachers at Buena Vista Elementary\, will share the $1\,000 grant to fund part of a trip for their students to Washington D.C. to see historic sites and museums that will be connected to South Carolina’s fifth-grade learning standards for social studies. \nGinsberg\, a first-time author\, is a former attorney\, member of the Clinton Administration and media executive. He received his undergraduate degree from Brown University and his law degree from Columbia University. \nForeign Affairs says “First Friends” examines “the men and women who can relieve the loneliness a president lives with\, help him think through what to do about a major problem\, and say things to him that no one else can. The resulting book is an entertaining\, sometimes thought-provoking read.” \nA few of the friendships explored in the book are those between Thomas Jefferson and James Madison\, Abraham Lincoln and Joshua Speed\, Daisy Suckley and Franklin Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy and David Ormsby-Gore\, a British diplomat. \nThe author’s website says the book “provides fresh insights into the lives of the men who held the most powerful political office in the world by looking at the friends on whom they relied. “First Friends” is an engaging\, serendipitous look into the lives of Commanders-in-Chief and how their presidencies were shaped by those they held most dear.”
