They also just instituted scholarships for FIRST college students and Ric just arranged for some FIRST college seniors from across the country to be flown to LA for a college fair. This company has figured out what FIRST is all about and is more than willing to use FIRST to develop its upcoming workforce.
It's taken Ric several years of hard work to get Raytheon to this point, but he never gave up. Add to that hours and hours of work on the regional committee and as an inspector and ...
Proud to have him on the Beach Bot team as well,

I should add that he also has arranged for internships for some College FIRST students also (who also happened to be flown out for the career fair).
