Patrick's Video

When Patrick Winum’s mom and sister relocated to the Grand Strand area from New York, he saw the perfect opportunity. Knowledgeable about Coastal Carolina University, he figured it would work out well if he relocated too. Patrick became a Chanticleer, enrolling in the communication program.

While succeeding down his academic path, Patrick has also taken an extracurricular path as well, cruising right down Club Sport Blvd. A member of the men’s club lacrosse team at Coastal, Patrick raves about the experience he has had, crediting his involvement with the squad for helping him build relationships with teammates so meaningful that he considers many of them “best friends.” The winning has made his time with the team that much better as the Chants recently advanced to the SouthEastern Lacrosse Conference tournament.

A compassionate individual, Patrick stresses the need for society to embrace a more understanding and accommodating attitude. Luckily for our campus, Patrick decided to attend CCU and bring this belief with him. 

Patrick is a senior.
