A SENATE RESOLUTION

TO HONOR AND CONGRATULATE FLORA M. RILEY OF SENECA, SOUTH CAROLINA UPON HER RETIREMENT AS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE MICHELIN CAREER CENTER AT CLEMSON UNIVERSITY, AND TO WISH HER WELL IN ALL HER FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

Whereas, the members of the Senate have learned that Flora M. Riley, Executive Director of the Michelin Career Center at Clemson University, will retire after twenty-six years of service to the University; and

Whereas, Flora has had a distinguished career with the Career Center since 1988 serving in numerous capacities, becoming Executive Director in 2000; and

Whereas, during her tenure with the career center, the center was named in the top ten three years in a row for Best Career Services in the Princeton Review Ranking of Best Colleges and the center generated more than $1.5 million in contributions and sponsorships and closed commitments of an additional $600,000; and

Whereas, Flora began her career at Clemson University with the Counseling and Academic Advising Program in the Freshman Engineering Center in 1985; and

Whereas, she has served in numerous leadership positions with the National Association of Colleges and Employers and the Southern Association of Colleges and Employers, and she is an active adviser to students in the Golden Key National Honor Society and maintains relationships with the community through her involvement with the Clemson and Greenville Chambers of Commerce and the Clemson Rotary Club; and

Whereas Flora's many committee appointments allow her to interact with students, faculty, staff, employers, and community members while continually being an ambassador for Clemson University; and

Whereas, Flora earned both her Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and her Masters of Education degree in Personnel Services from Clemson University; and

Whereas, Flora is a wonderful example of the commitment to dedication and student learning and she is not just someone who comes to work each day, but rather, she is someone who works with a purpose and a vision. Anyone who knows her knows she laughs often, loves much, and lives well; and

Whereas, all her accomplishments are a testament to her determined spirit and the positive nature she so frequently exudes and in Flora's honor, the Flora M. Riley Endowment of Excellence has been established and the Career Resource Center will be known as the Flora M. Riley Career Resource Center; and

Whereas, it is fitting and proper for the members of the South Carolina Senate to recognize Flora's achievements on the occasion of her retirement. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the Senate, by this resolution, honor and congratulate Flora M. Riley upon her retirement as Executive Director of the Michelin Career Center at Clemson University, and wish her well in all her future endeavors.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Flora M. Riley.
