Hall of Nations at the Teal Nation

This display hanging in the Lib Jackson Student Union includes 52 flags, including those of 51 nations and the United States of America. The flags represent the countries of all of our new incoming international students and new students who are permanent residents of the United States, as well as all continuing visa-holding students at CCU in the Fall 2015 semester. A total of 60 countries have continuing students at Coastal Carolina University. The countries from which Coastal has the most students are: Germany, China, Russia, Australia, France, Hungary, United Kingdom and Iceland.

The flags are displayed in alphabetical order using the English names and all are displayed at the same level, consistent with the protocol of the United Nations and U.S. Code, which denotes that “When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should be of approximately equal size. International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace."
