Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate Mrs. Bullock on Admin Assistant Day-whether you wrote a card, shared a kind word, or stopped by for some cake. If you’ve been a part of our department or followed along on Instagram over the past 18 years, chances are you’ve felt her impact. She truly cares for each of you and treats our students like her own. We’re so grateful for all that she does every single day.

From late nights to big milestones… and now bowling celebrations 🎳 Cheers to our Class of 2026 seniors, we’re so proud of everything you’ve accomplished and even more excited for what’s next after Furman. Go do amazing things!
