Coastal Carolina Black Alumni Chapter

Coastal Carolina Black Alumni Chapter Coastal Carolina University Black Alumni Chapter, an official affinity group supported by Coastal Carolina University Alumni Association.

Hello, fellow Coastal Carolina Black Alumni. We are proud to announce the forming of a new chapter of the current alumni association geared to help unite and strengthen the ties of Coastal Carolina black alumni to the current student body and university. This chapter is the first of its kind in the nature that it is not tied to a geographical location. We take pride in formulating this chapter and

hope that it will encourage you to reconnect with Coastal Carolina University as a distinguished alum. A few dedicated alumni have been meeting with university officials to help establish this chapter. We have curated the following mission statement for the chapter
“The Coastal Carolina University Black Alumni Chapter supports Coastal Carolina University by providing an avenue of continued relationship building with Black alumni, scholarship fundraising, and fostering undergraduate mentorship. We are a diverse body of alumni who take pride in our heritage and support the continued diversification of our alma mater.”
The mission is supported with the following goals for the chapter:
Connect Black alumni with the CCU alumni association through increased participation at association events and representation in university affairs
Contribute to the annual cultivation and endowment of the Pat Singleton-Young Student Leadership Scholarship
Encourage consistent and increased engagement between the Black undergraduate student body and Black alumni
Educate and inform members and the CCU community on Black history, affairs and the importance of unified support

Continuing The Story: Teal Connections

From creating unforgettable experiences with the Harlem Globetrotters to bringing compelling characters to life on screen, Terry Allen is a powerful example of what it means to pursue your passion and have the courage to evolve along the way.

A proud Coastal Carolina University graduate, class of 2017, with a degree in Recreation and Sports Management, Terry built his foundation in an industry centered around sports, entertainment, connection, and creating memorable experiences. His time with the Harlem Globetrotters sharpened his ability to communicate, connect with people, perform under pressure, and understand the energy of an audience.

But behind that career was a passion for storytelling that continued to call him toward acting.

Terry began taking acting classes, auditioning, and accepting opportunities that allowed him to develop his craft. What started as an interest became a purpose and eventually a full-time career. His journey has led to appearances in P-Valley, A Nashville Legacy, Judge Me Not, and Tyler Perry’s Bruh, before reaching a major milestone with his role as Duffy on STARZ’s.

What drives Terry is more than simply being in front of the camera. He is passionate about creating experiences, telling stories, and connecting with audiences in a way that makes people feel something. His background in sports and entertainment taught him the importance of discipline, preparation, adaptability, confidence, and genuine connection; qualities he now brings into every character he portrays.

For Terry, success is about continuing to grow, taking risks, and trusting the journey even when the path changes.

From creating experiences for fans to creating characters for audiences, Terry is no longer simply helping tell the story, he is living it.

His journey reminds us that our degree may be where our story begins, but it does not have to define where the story ends.
