Early Aug. 27, Furman announced that the administration placed 53 students in quarantine due to potential exposure from parties at the former Kappa Alpha Fraternity house over the weekend of Aug. 22.

In light of the announcement, we sit down with Connie Carson, Furman's VP for Student Life, to discuss the implications of these events for the fall semester, the capacity of students to adapt and change their behavior, and the administration's commitment to keeping students on campus.
