Our Namesake

Larry Abernathy (1947-2012) was the embodiment of Clemson, and his passion and pride for the university knew no bounds. A gentleman, family man, and public servant, Abernathy was first elected to the Clemson City Council while he was still a student at the university. An avid outdoorsman, he once stated, “I am driven to environmentally friendly initiatives because I have three grandsons. And I want them to have a world that is as beautiful, as enjoyable, and as unharmed as it can possibly be.”
