Summary
Not long after Denise Huxtable matriculated at Hillman College in Virginia on The Cosby Show spin-off A Different World, I enrolled at Furman University in Greenville, SC. If Cliff Huxtable’s support for historically black colleges had any influence on Denise’s decision to attend Hillman, my dad’s influence had everything to do with my attending Furman. Dad had been a professor at Furman since the early 1970s, and I took great pride in the fact that he taught at one of the best liberal arts colleges in the South. Although I had long planned to attend college far from home, when it came time to decide, my loyalty to Furman ruled the day.
