The Summer Scholars program is an academic enrichment program that engages
rising juniors and seniors in small group settings under the direction of Furman
faculty members. Students have the opportunity to challenge their mind, make
friends that will last a lifetime and have lots of fun. The academic experience will
include lectures, class discussion, debates, laboratory research, field trips, group
and individual projects, and other activities intended to provide a challenging
learning experience. All courses are led by professors and professional experts in
their respective fields. Our instructors are selected not only for their knowledge
of their subjects but also for their commitment to engaged learning and the
liberal arts. While each class has different capacities, no class has more than 21
students enrolled. Courses are not equivalent to high school courses, but rather
are designed to model the collegiate academic experience, enabling students to
learn more about a particular subject while acquiring skills that will further
prepare them for their college career. A scholar is defined as “a student that
studies under a teacher.” Please come and study under the best faculty and
professional leaders in the nation!

Living Well through Sustainable Food Growing, Eating, and Home Construction
Furman University and the surrounding communities provide a rich learning laboratory for sustainable
living. And, living sustainably is becoming much more important in this age of constrained resources.
The content of the course will include “how to grow food”, “how to select food to sustain your life”,
“how to make energy from the sun”, and “how to build a sustainable home”. Class time will be split
between lecture/discussion and field trips to nearby sustainable farms and farmer’s markets, renewable

Mock Trial
Thinking of a career in law? Curious about the American judicial system, courtroom procedures, and the
components of a trial? If the answer is yes, then this Summer Scholars class if for you! The course will
introduce you to trial practice techniques utilized by the American Mock Trial Association, focusing on
the hypothetical case State of Midlands v. Jackie Owens. In a first for Midlands, three entrepreneurs
joined forces to create Trifecta Entertainment, a major movie studio. After some initial growing pains,
Trifecta was about to embark on it’s most profitable year. But then one of the partners went missing.
Foul play was suspected and then police discovered the missing partner’s corpse buried at the base of
Calkins Cliffs. The two remaining partners have been indicted for murder. Using this case, the course
will teach participants proper courtroom etiquette, direct and cross examination tactics, the structure of
opening statements and closing arguments, federal rules of evidence, and other matters related to trial
advocacy in a criminal matter. Students will be divided into prosecution and defense trial teams; at the
end of the week the case will be tried in the federal courthouse. After classroom instruction, students
will be responsible for developing case themes, preparing direct and cross-examination questions for
witnesses, and drafting opening statements and closing arguments.
Students from Furman’s mock trial team will assist practicing attorneys who coach the award-winning
Furman team, as well as Dana Professor of Political Science Glen Halva-Neubauer who founded the
university’s mock trial program in 1995.

experiments with various types of lighting instruments – including 31 state-of-the-art moving lights,
special effects and automated lighting. A culminating project where the students, working in smaller
design teams will design lights to illustrate a piece of classical music.
A typical day will involve a morning and an afternoon session. All work will take place in The Playhouse
theatre and a possible “fieldtrip” to McAlister Auditorium to see larger scale proscenium lighting and
follow spots. There will be a healthy mixture of more traditional “lectures” and actual work on a lighting
crew—handling and manipulating the materials in experiments and exercises designed to give the
student greater confidence and competence in using light as an artistic medium in the theatre.
Directing this program will be Rhett Bryson, professor of theatre arts at Furman and scenic and lighting
designer for the Furman Theatre. Rhett has professional theatre experience at the Asolo Theatre

Pre-health: What is it like to practice medicine in the 21st century?
This course will give students the opportunity to learn what it takes to be a healthcare provider.
Topics will include how to start preparing now for a health career, what to expect in health professional
school, and a comparison of health careers available. Students will hear from a variety of healthcare
professionals about the real issues they face in their careers.
In order to learn about the close interaction of the healthcare professions in the real world, students will
work through a case study of diagnosing and treating a patient from start to finish. Students will
participate in hands-on activities and lab experiments as they learn about the different facets of
healthcare. This course may also include tours of local hospitals and healthcare facilities.
This course will be directed by Dr. John Banisaukas, Health Professions Advisor and Visiting Professor of
Chemistry at Furman University.
Protest!
This course will look at protest and dissent as human activities. Subjects will be explored from a
rhetorical perspective, considering the forms and functions of protest discourse and the responses to it.
Our efforts will be focused on several important protest movements in 20th-century U.S. history,
including the Civil Rights Movement, the Women's Movement, the Environmental Movement, the Farm
Labor Movement, and others. Students will read key rhetorical documents, learn the theories of protest
and reform, study documentary histories, and engage in criticism of protesters and their opponents.
This course will be taught by Dr. Sean O’Rourke, Professor of Communication Studies at Furman
University.
Writing About Film: Creative and Critical Eyes
Writing About film will seek to develop the student’s writing skills by focusing on the compelling ways in
which films work to engage audiences. As a visual medium, film can often resist easy translation into
written expression; yet film’s condensed and complex forms of expression also solicit a particular
appreciation and understand that only careful writing (descriptive, interpretive and argumentative
modes) can yield. The class will explore the critical interpretation of film, pay9ing particular attention to
the elements of film style: setting, camera angle and movement, editing and sound. Students will
discover characteristic features of the “classic Hollywood style,” a series of formal and narrative
conventions and patterns which are as present today in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight and Spike
Lee’s Miracle at St. Anna as they were in John ford’s classic western, Stagecoach. In addition, the course
will explore film genre and the issue of literary adaptation by examining film adaptations of novels or
plays, such as Shakespeare’s Hamlet.
Directing the program will be Vincent Hausmann, associate professor of English at Furman, where he
teaches film analysis, literary theory and composition. He serves as a co-editor of the Bryn Mawr Review
of Comparative Literature; he has served as a board member of the Upstate Film Society and is currently
the moderator of Furman’s student run independent film society.

RESIDENTIAL LIVING
EXPECTATIONS OF STUDENTS
The Summer Scholars program is designed for responsible rising juniors and seniors that want to learn
more about life in a college setting. While we recognize that this age student is not a college freshman,
we do expect students to exhibit self control and portray excellent character. The program is not
intended to rehabilitate students experiencing issues in high school.
Students will be asked to read and sign the “Expectations for Campus Living” form before arriving on
campus. A copy of this form will be available once accepted in to the program.
No student will be allowed to leave the campus without the permission of their parent/guardian and the
Program Director. Visitation by parents and friends is discouraged. Students may drive a car to campus
but all keys will be relinquished at registration.
RESIDENTIAL LIVING
Summer Scholars live on single-sex halls in a co-ed residence hall. The residence halls are air
conditioned. Each hall and/or outer door is card access protected. Students are asked to lock their
door when leaving the room and when sleeping. Furman University and Summer Scholars does not
assume responsibility for any items lost or stolen.
Students access their hall and room by using a swipe card. Students will enjoy all their meals on campus
at either the Charles Daniel Dining Hall or our food court, The Paladen. Students are encouraged to eat
three meals a day as they will be kept very busy. Students have access to the computer labs, James B.
Duke Library, and the Lay Physical Activities Center.
Summer Scholar Counselors are current Furman students chosen on the basis of a thorough interview
process, reference check, academic record, maturity, energy, and skill level. Some have even been
Summer Scholars! The counselors live in the residence halls and are dedicated to the entire two week
program. They accompany the scholars to class, on field trips, and social events. They are responsible
for ensuring that students are aware of and comply with the expectations set before them.
The Summer Scholars staff and counselors recognize the importance of proper health for everyone. All
students must submit a medical examination/clearance form and proof of insurance coverage once
admitted to the program. This form does require that a student has had a recent physical. Sports
physicals will be accepted. If a student becomes ill or is injured, they will be seen by the university
infirmary or a local doctor/hospital. The director and the head counselor for the program will keep the
medical records of all students in confidentiality and will accompany any student to off campus doctor
or hospital visits. Information about medications, allergies, psychological history and contact phone
numbers are crucial to a medical provider. If a student receives treatment for an injury or illness, the
director of the program will call the parent/guardian once the student’s medical situation is stabilized.
RECREATIONAL AND SOCIAL ACTIVITIES
Summer Scholars will participate in a variety of activities throughout the week. The counselors plan
many events for the scholars and all are required to participate. These activities range from
recreational sports such as pool parties, volleyball and Frisbee to dance parties and taking a jog on our
beautiful campus. Each student will participate in our low ropes course.
An admission officer from the Office of Admission will meet with the scholars and share information
about the college admission process. Students will be given the opportunity to ask questions about
Furman or the process itself.
FIELD TRIPS
Students will leave campus for a variety of activities. Some courses plan field trips to local
establishments that reinforce what they are learning in class. Social activities vary from year to year but
have included trips to see a local baseball game (Greenville Drive – Boston Red Sox minor league), Table
Rock State Park, the Peace Center for the Performing Arts, and a few of our many local eateries in
exciting, downtown Greenville. You can learn more about our downtown area by going to:
http://www.greenville.com/. The expenses for the trips are paid for by the program and students will
only need money for souvenirs or additional snacks they choose to purchase.
WEATHER AND PHYSICAL CONDITIONS
The weather in Greenville is very warm (and sometimes hot!) in July. Daily temperatures will be
between 80 – 90 degrees and humid. Nights can also be very humid with temperatures in the 70’s.
Students should bring appropriate clothing for warm weather. They should also bring some type of
poncho or umbrella. We will provide plenty of water so there is no need to bring your own!
LAUNDRY
Washers and dryers are available in the residence hall. Students must provide detergent, dryer sheets,
etc. There is no charge for using the machines.
TELEPHONES
During the week, students will have limited time to talk on cell phones. They may bring a cell phone,
however, they should not plan on making or receiving calls during class, meals or evening activities.
Counselors will be instructed to confiscate any cell phones that interfere with the program. Parents
should not plan on calling students unless there is an emergency. A good rule of thumb is that “no
news is good news.” The director of the program is in constant contact with the counselors and will
relay any emergency information to the students and parents.
During the two weeks of Summer Scholars, (in emergency situations) , parents may call:
1. Summer Scholars Director: Mary Hearne at 864-561-3888
2. Furman University Public Safety: 864-294-2111
The dispatcher will contact the appropriate person in the residence hall or the director.
