We come to you to lead our search, and learn to reach beyond ourselves – below the earth, beyond the stars – to form our dreams for better years.
Here, green and bronze in nature, light – sweet pine forest that surround us, ocean waters that sustain us – reflect your standards that prepare us.
May we return in thought and care to share your promise of enrichment, and celebrate and sing our praise for Coastal Carolina.

LEIGHA PETERSON, PH.D. ’19 Coastal Carolina University's first Doctoral Candidate, Marine Science
Leigha Peterson ’19, ’14, ’11 is the first student to earn a doctoral degree from Coastal Carolina University. Peterson graduates today with a Doctor of Philosophy in Marine Science: Coastal and Marine Systems Science, which was CCU’s first Ph.D. degree, established in 2014.
Peterson is also the first to earn all three levels of undergraduate and postgraduate education from Coastal Carolina University, having received a master’s degree in coastal marine and wetlands studies in August 2014 and a bachelor’s degree in marine science in December 2011. She has served as a lecturer of physical oceanography and introductory marine science courses in the Department of Marine Science at CCU since 2017. A native of Ocean City, Md., Peterson has focused her research in three technical areas: groundwater discharge, hydrocarbon transport, and water mass mixing. She is skilled in identifying areas of active groundwater discharge using geochemical and geophysical tools and has been lecturing on hydrographic techniques and hydrogeology for more than three years. She has developed methods to study hydrocarbon discharge in marine environments and specializes in chemically tracing water masses in coastal and open ocean environments to understand the environmental impacts associated with fluid transport. Peterson has participated in research trips to Antarctica, Brazil, the Gulf of Mexico, Jamaica, Canada and elsewhere in pursuit of her studies. In 2013, she spent 47 days at the Palmer research station in Antarctica, where the sun didn’t set during her entire visit. Peterson has co-written approximately 25 research papers and presentations in her field of study. The title of her doctoral dissertation is “Evaluating fluid fluxes from deep-sea seepage habitats.” While earning her Ph.D., she was named CCU’s first doctoral student representative, serving as a liaison between administrators and doctoral students. During her collegiate career, she was also a Nelson Fellowship recipient, sustainability representative, student research coordinator and recruitment counselor for her sorority, Alpha Delta Pi.

10 COASTAL CAROLINA UNIVERSITY TRADITIONS
The University Seal The seal of Coastal Carolina University designates the founding year of the institution and associates the campus symbol, the Atheneum, with the coastal locale of the University. Bearing the Latin motto — Ex Libertate Veritas (from liberty, truth) — the seal refers to the Temple of Athene in ancient Athens where professors and students gathered. The Greek temple was named for Athena, the daughter of Zeus, who embodies wisdom and reason. The waves at the foot of the Atheneum acknowledge a diversified coastal environment encompassing a distinctive geography and history, a vital present, and an abundant future. The seal was commissioned by Trustee Oran P. Smith as a gift to celebrate the July 1, 1993, establishment of the University as an independent, public institution of higher education.
The University Logo The identifying symbol of Coastal Carolina University captures the dynamic and traditional commitment of the University to teaching and learning. The Atheneum, constructed on the campus in 1966, is a recognized architectural symbol of a meeting place for persons engaged in literary and scientific pursuits. In the logo, the Atheneum is set against an undulating background that captures the energy and unbounded promise of the institution.
The University Medallion As symbols of events and affiliations, medallions in academic regalia can be traced to religious orders during the Middle Ages. Since many orders, societies and universities used similar designs — a circle, cross or an oval — the detailed artwork in the center of the medallion was adopted to differentiate each affiliation. Colleges and universities traditionally use ceremonial and commemorative medallions for formal occasions such as commencements, convocations and inaugurations, when academic regalia is worn. To commemorate Coastal Carolina’s status as an independent university, the institution’s medallion was commissioned in 1994. The installation of President Ronald R. Ingle on Oct. 22, 1994, was the first time the Coastal Carolina University medallion was publicly displayed.
The University Mace The University mace, the symbol of the Coastal Carolina University community, attaches significance to important events of the academic calendar. Commissioned by the Horry County Higher Education Commission, the mace was designed and crafted by silversmith Alfred D. Ward and presented to the University in the spring of 1997. The mace is carried during official convocations of the University by the senior member of the faculty. When not being used for a convocation, the mace is on display in the boardroom of the E. Craig Wall Sr. College of Business Administration. The three-dimensional, 48-inch staff is topped with a 22-karat gold-plate model of the campus symbol, the Atheneum. Modified relief seals of the University and engraved lettering embellish the sterling silver cup. Supported by a base of solid walnut, the stem of the mace is adorned with sterling silver shells, reflecting the coastal location of the University. On the base of the stem is an engraved seal of the state of South Carolina, representing the University’s status as a public institution.

Alma Mater Coastal Carolina
We come to you to lead our search, and learn to reach beyond ourselves – below the earth, beyond the stars – to form our dreams for better years.
Here, green and bronze in nature, light – sweet pine forest that surround us, ocean waters that sustain us – reflect your standards that prepare us.
May we return in thought and care to share your promise of enrichment, and celebrate and sing our praise for Coastal Carolina.
– Bennie Lee Sinclair 2018 COMMENCEMENT COASTAL CAROLINA UNIVERSITY
The Coastal Carolina University Alma Mater was written in 1994 by the late Bennie Lee Sinclair, the fifth poet laureate of South Carolina, to commemorate the first year of the institution’s status as a university. The original score for the Alma Mater was written by Coastal Carolina University emeritus professor William R. Hamilton.
