Thank you to the private donors from the Class of ’81 who worked with S.C. artist and fellow classmate Mike Williams to bring a beautiful new piece to WH’s Fine Arts hallway in the 300 Building. Sunset in the Flats 2 is a meaningful gift that will inspire present and future Baron artists, and we are honored to display it for our community.

State Museum, Columbia Museum of Art, and Volksbank in Kaiserslautern, Germany.

He encouraged students to help strengthen the culture of Wilson Hall and leave the school a better place.

Hanging in Founders Chapel, the cross created and gifted to WH by renowned sculptor Grainger McKoy carries a meaningful connection to faith and history. Crafted from reclaimed beams from the Church of the Holy Cross, its plaque notes that “since the early 1850s, this wood has been marinated in prayer” and inspired the cross’s simplicity and humility. A small wood-burned feather is the only mark of McKoy’s craftsmanship. As students and faculty gather in the chapel for worship, prayer, reflection, and fellowship, the cross serves as a quiet reminder of the faith that remains at the heart of the WH community.
