Faulkner University announced Friday that Full House and Fuller House star Candace Cameron Bure will be the featured speaker at its 2025 Benefit Dinner on October 2.

The announcement was made on Friday during the university’s annual spring Jamboree production.

Bure’s career started with her role as ‘D.J. Tanner’ on the iconic television series Full House, a character she reprised on the hit Netflix series Fuller House. Her credits include her Emmy-nominated role as a host on The View and her role as ‘Summer Van Horn’ on Make It or Break It.

Beyond her acting career, Bure is a successful entrepreneur, CEO of CandyRock Entertainment, and the head of her self-titled clothing and lifestyle brands.
