Whereas, the members of the House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina are pleased to learn that Robert Ricketts will be honored for his many contributions to Clemson University, surrounded by family and friends at a party marking his distinguished career on May 3, 2013; and
Whereas, a native of Anderson, Mr. Ricketts earned an associate's degree from Anderson College in 1969 and a bachelor's degree in business administration from Erskine College in 1971, and he completed the College Business Management Institute at the University of Kentucky; and
Whereas, after graduation, he served with the J. C. Penney Company of Greenville and Anderson for four years in merchandise management before he began his lengthy career with Clemson University in 1976; and

Whereas, Mr. Ricketts remained in that position until 2003, and although he was still involved in many aspects of athletic department finances, his primary focus shifted to athletic facilities, dealing with new construction, renovations, maintenance of the facilities and grounds, and event management; and
Whereas, under his leadership, two landmark accomplishments were completed: the West End Zone, the football complex which houses the football offices, locker rooms, dining hall, weight rooms, and training rooms; and the beautiful Indoor Football Facility with AstroTurf; and
Whereas, his retirement on September 7, 2013, will mark more than twenty-eight years of dedicated service to the athletic department at Clemson University; and
