Cothran Center for Vocational Reflection - Furman University

Cothran Center for Vocational Reflection - Furman University Established in 2001, Furman University's Cothran Center for Vocational Reflection was developed through a grant from the Lilly Endowment, Inc.

Directly serving students, faculty, staff and alumni with interest in vocation, we also provide resources to the Greenville community through annual public lectures and other events. Our mission is to provide resources for individuals and groups to reflect upon their vocational choices through three essential questions:

Who am I—most authentically? What do I believe—most deeply? What does the world need—​from me?
