Destination: Unknown

Thirty Coker College students will assemble in the Charles W. and Joan S. Coker Library parking lot and board a bus at 9:30 in the morning on Sunday, September 26.

Passersby may overhear the musings of students wondering where they are going. Why?

Because their destination is unknown.

Destination: Unknown (D:U) is an exciting new programming initiative from Campus Life designed to spice up weekends at Coker. Each month, students will venture to various destinations throughout the region. They just won’t know where they’re going until they get there.

"Destination: Unknown was a brainchild born out of feedback we received from students last year," said Jason Umfress, Dean of Students at Coker College. "We took popular programs like the outdoor adventure trips that had been successful in the past and put a new spin on them."

The purpose of the D:U program is twofold, Umfress said. First, it will assist in creating an exciting, vibrant campus environment by providing students with programming options during the weekends. Second, it will give students the opportunity to have experiences they might not otherwise encounter.

Here’s a hint for this month’s D:U location:

Get on the bus, no need to groan.
"Where’re we going?" Destination: Unknown!
Pack comfy shoes, comfy clothes and the sort.
Be ready to cheer! Hope you love sports.
Ten bucks holds your spot, you can use it to eat.
Numbers are limited, so sign up! Claim your seat!

There are still open slots, so if you’re interested in finding out the destination, sign up for the trip by Friday, September 24 in the Campus Life Office, which is located on the second floor of the Student Center. Just bring $10 to hold your spot. The $10 will be returned on the day of the trip, and you won’t have to pay for anything but your lunch.

"I think that not telling where we are going is part of the adventure," said Umfress. "How cool is it to get on a bus and not know where you’re going until you get there?"

Clues for the spring semester trips:

February 26:
The last D:U trip seems like FOREVER! 
Our next one is so very clever. 
In February we’ll ride
So across the floor we can glide
D:U is the coolest thing, EVER!

March 19:
To the Earth we are usually bound
But D:U makes you think upside-down.
The sky will seem low
But the wind will sure blow.
Seek this thrill without leaving the ground.

April 2: 
D:U in April is the last for the year.
Please don’t cry.  Save your time and your tears.   
In the cars you will scrunch
But don’t lose your lunch. 
These rides will have you screaming in fear.
