Familiar bridge receives new name
Hank Plyler ’05 is a member of the E. Craig Wall Sr. College of Business Administration board of visitors.
A donation by Hank Plyler ’05 to the E. Craig Wall Sr. College of Business Administration Endowed General Scholarship fund has led to the naming of the Henry Jason “Hank” Plyler Bridge, which extends over the pond located between Prince Lawn and the Wall Building.
“It’s an honor and a blessing to give back to my alma mater,” said Plyler, a native of Myrtle Beach. “I love Coastal Carolina. My time there was amazing. If it weren’t for the support and mentoring I received from professors [Gerald] Boyles and [Robert] Burney, I am not sure I would have graduated from Coastal.”
Plyler, who earned a bachelor’s degree in finance, is a member of CCU’s Wall College board of visitors. He lives in New York City, where he is a financial planner with Barnum Financial Group.
