The Charge was installed on campus in 2005 as a gift from the Piedmont Educational Foundation/Bears Club. Larger-than-life size, this 2,300 pound bronze statue in attack stance sits near the center of campus and outside of Shuford Gymnasium. It is a highly visible, iconic point of campus that you definitely need to see for yourself.
Personal Story:
The Charge is a very popular picture spot! I took a picture here with my parents during my campus tour of LR and I also took a picture the first day of my senior year. If you come to LR, I’m sure you will have lots of pictures in front of the Charge too!
