COASTAL CAROLINA o

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 forests 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.
