Clemson Wesley Foundation

Clemson Wesley Foundation is alive and well. Under the dynamic leadership of Rev. Lane Glaze, Clemson students have a great opportunity for Christian fellowship, worship, nurture and service through this campus ministry. One highlight of this past year has been the participation in hurricane relief efforts. Several hundred students, alumni and friends have been part of four trips to the Gulf Coast to help rebuild lives of storm victims.

Clemson Wesley Foundation has been important to the Osbornes for a long time. Robert found it to be a welcoming place when he arrived on the campus in 1989. A couple years later this is where he met his future wife, Kristen. They have remained active as alumni and currently Kristen serves on its board. She has been part of several of their mission trips including the one to New Orleans this past March.

It is interesting to note that this involvement in Wesley Foundation continues a tradition that began with Robert's grandfather, Robert, who served as the president of Wesley Foundation at Ohio State University in the early 1940s.
