Located near the entrance to the campus beside the Alumni Center, Wesley House offers an open gathering place for friendly conversation where students can relax or find a quiet place to study. Individuals are encouraged to drop in at any time. Campus groups and organizations are invited to schedule meetings and activities here. We offer opportunities to meet, to fellowship, and to serve with students from other colleges and universities through the United Methodist Student Movement. Participation in Wesley Foundation programs and the benefits of the Foundation's services are not limited to any particular religious affiliation, but are open to everyone in the college community. A prayer chapel is available on the second floor for persons of any faith.
The Wesley House offers a variety of services and programs.
The Wesley Foundation offers a free home-cooked meal to students on Tuesdays and $1 lunches on Thursdays from 11:30-1:00 PM.
