Welcome from William H. Alford, Chair

Thank you for caring about Coastal Carolina University. Your commitment is the one essential element that makes this campus thrive. Your presence, your ideas and your sustaining interest are more important than our location, buildings, policies or plans. If you are a student, the Board of Trustees exists to help secure your future. If you are a parent, we are partners in ensuring a vibrant university experience for your child. If you are a member of our faculty or staff, we are advocates for your professional development and workplace wellness. If you are a leader interested in becoming involved in the university, we are your advisers and confidantes in making Coastal all it promises to become. Whatever brings you to our web site is important to our Board of Trustees. We want to be certain your educational objectives and experiences on this campus are met with encouragement, enthusiasm and endless possibility.

As a former student here, I know the value of campus engagement. Classes form the cornerstone of student life, but the full university experience includes much more. Athletic events, literary festivals, intra-mural activities, movie nights—they will enrich your life by introducing you to people and ideas that will change your life forever.

Best wishes for building vivid memories and a bold future,

William H. Alford
