Clemson University RUF International
Contact
Clemson RUF-International (RUF-I) has been on the campus of Clemson since 1989. During that time we have had the opportunity to meet students from all around the world. RUF-I is a Christian ministry that exists to WELCOME visiting students, scholars, and families into a community of other Internationals. We offer a wide variety of events, activities, and experiences for International students. We also provide the opportunity for any student to EXPLORE the teachings of Christianity and understand how it informs our faith and everyday life. For those Internationals who come to Clemson who identify as Christian, we want to come alongside you to ENCOURAGE AND EQUIP you in your personal faith. We have something for everyone and we hope that we have the privilege of meeting you during your time at Clemson.

Anna Ayers
Anna grew up in Bryan, Texas, and graduated from King University in Bristol, TN with a Major in English with a writing track and a minor in Spanish. In her free time, she loves staying active and outdoors and spending time with her friends.
Although she was not involved with RUF in college, Anna had the privilege of attending SuCo the summer after she graduated with Texas A&M's RUF-International crew. She was quickly convinced that this was where God was calling her to. God put a love for the nations on her heart at a young age and she is thrilled to be a part of welcoming and befriending international students from all over the world at Clemson. Go Tigers!
