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.
