We had a great blast from the past when our old friend and Teal Talk podcast cohost Cobi Williams from CCU joined us. Cobi works in alumni engagement with Coastal Carolina University and is truly passionate about the school. Cobi is one of the best ambassadors for Coastal and his enthusiasm really comes out during the show. He shared a lot of information on upcoming events at the school and he also takes us through the history of the school. He also shared some fun details about his hometown and "Chicken Bog Capital of the World", Loris South Carolina. We enjoyed this reunion show and hope you all do as well!
Show highlights:
-Cobi explained how helping your University helps the value of your degree. Funds can go to all sorts of different ventures. Rob talked a bit about the affect that the sports teams of CCU have helped the college's recognition and donations are a part of that.
-CCU has expanded its offerings for different degrees over the years; they still have a world class business school and nationally renowned Marine Biology - but they've continued to raise the bar for those looking for different fields.
-We had a talk on sports success at the school such as: 2016 National Champs in baseball, Top 20 rankings in football and our very own Melissa Jefferson representing the USA at the Olympics.
-Cobi talked about the excitement over the new Athletic Director as Coastal - Chance Miller
-We talked about the fantastic leadership of CCU President, Michael Benson and how that has translated to success at the school.
-Cobi shared a book with us written by Roy Talbert Jr, Coastal Carolina University: The First 50 Years. This book runs through a lot of interesting information including the meeting at the Chat N Chew restaurant that started it all.
