The President’s Home Restoration Initiative
Return to Relevance
A Campaign for Coker University President’s Home
Coker University President’s Home has long been a place of gathering for families, community leaders, teachers, and students. From the early days of the Coker family to University Presidents, generations of memories fill the halls of the beautiful brick building. Although it has served as the primary residence for the University President since the 1960s, Presidents like Dr. James Daniels shared the home with the campus and greater Hartsville communities.
For the past few years, the house has fallen into disrepair – so much so that the current President, Dr. Natalie Harder, can not reside and host events in this historic building. Our goal, along with the Coker Family, is to return this home to its place of centrality in the life of the University and Hartsville.
We look to revive some of those memories of past events this holiday season. Many of which you participated in. Imagine a restored home where current Coker students will gather, discover a community where they grow together, and have the needed conversations to change the world around us all.
Purchase an ornament to decorate the President’s Christmas Tree to honor your own memories in this house. The ornaments will hang on the tree for generations to come, symbolizing this home’s relevance in continuing the growth of Coker students and their college journey.
There are three levels to choose from with your donation of an ornament in support of this initiative.
