Background

About Bob Brookover

With over 30 years of experience in the field of parks, recreation, and tourism management, I am a passionate and dedicated educator and researcher at Clemson University. As a principal lecturer, I teach courses, advise students, and conduct applied research and consulting projects including strategic/master plans, economic impact analysis, finance/financial feasibility studies, and needs assessments and program evaluations for public and nonprofit organizations and agencies. I hold a Ph.D. in education leadership, which enables me to contribute to the development and improvement of the curriculum, the faculty, and the department. In addition, I have a strong background in facilities and outdoor programs, having served as the Director of Facilities and Outdoor Programs in the Campus Recreation Department at Clemson. In this role, I oversaw the operations, maintenance, and expansion of recreational facilities, as well as the planning and implementing outdoor activities and events for the campus community. My mission is to inspire and empower students, professionals, partners, decision makers, and the public to engage in lifelong learning and to build stronger people and communities through the power of the parks, recreation, and tourism field.
