<p>I am very interested to learn what 'in the know' people think of Furman's selection of Elizabeth Davis as the next president. I have read posts on the outgoing president and as a parent of a possible class of 2018, I am hopeful for the future. Davis comes from Baylor Univ, high level position. Actually, Baylor is one of my daughter's choices.</p>
<p>The current students are quite excited. Smolla was not popular with them at all. My daughter tells me that they have heard a lot of good things about her and some of her friends got to meet her when she was on campus. I’m sorry I don’t have details of why they are excited. I’ll see what they can find out.</p>
