Furman's First Alumni Trip to China!

Furman in China - May 14 -28, 2010
A group of Furman alumni and friends travel with Furman's Dr. Kate Kaup for a very insider tour of China, particularly focusing on Furman's programs in China and Furman's approach to Asian Studies.
This intrepid and brave group (Kate is known for her enthusiasm and her ability to go non-stop) included:
Kate Kaup,Frances and David Ellison, Kathy and Ron McKinney, Jason and Marie Richards, Coleman Shouse, Carrie and Richard Tucker.
At various times, they were joined by Furman alumni living and working in China, including, Martha Kimmel '08, who is working for Furman's Admissions, recruiting Chinese students to come to Furman.

They were also hosted by dignitaries from Soochow University, Furman's partner university in China, as this group represented Furman at Soochow's 100th Anniversary Celebration.
