Cover Story - Coe's Defining Moment
Amid an ice storm that challenged the participation of even the hardiest Coe supporters, the college unveiled the largest campaign in its history Dec. 8 at a gala event in Sinclair Auditorium. Defining Moment: The Campaign for Coe seeks to raise $80 million that will be used to bolster four major areas of the college.
On the cover: Freezing rain that greeted Coe's campaign kickoff event left the campus coated in a sheet of ice.
