A new addition to our campus, "The Book," stands near the Dillard Science and Engineering Research Center (SERC) as a testament to lifelong learning, faith, and the power of education. 📖

Provided by Neal Coates and Susan Rickard Coates, the sculpture is dedicated in memory of their former spouses, Cynthia Coates and David Rickard, and honors their devotion to God’s Word.
