Herring Center for Continuing Education, Furman University

This two-hour presentation is open to Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) members and requires advance registration through the Furman University OLLI website: www.furman.edu/olli (Registration opens in early September.)

Explore best-selling author Pat Conroy’s reverence for the art of teaching and his own legacy as a teacher through informative profiles of representative teachers from Conroy’s formative years as a student at Beaufort High School and through profiles of Conroy’s own students at BHS and on Daufuskie Island. Using photos, video and audio clips, and excerpts from published and unpublished writings by and about Conroy, the class will broaden our appreciation for the beloved writer’s great love of teaching and of his adopted home in the South Carolina lowcountry.
