A concurrent RESOLUTION

 

TO HONOR DR. KEITH MILLER, PRESIDENT OF GREENVILLE TECHNICAL COLLEGE, ON THE OCCASION OF HIS RETIREMENT, TO EXTEND DEEP APPRECIATION FOR HIS SEVENTEEN YEARS OF DISTINGUISHED PUBLIC SERVICE TO THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, AND TO OFFER BEST WISHES FOR A SATISFYING AND REWARDING RETIREMENT.

 

Whereas, since 2008, Greenville Technical College has enjoyed the benefit of the dedication, experience, and leadership of Dr. Keith Miller, president of the college, who on July 1, 2025, will retire after seventeen years of outstanding service; and

 

Whereas, in 2008, having been hired as the second president of Greenville Technical College, Keith Miller moved to the State of South Carolina to commence his new duties. The leadership style he brought to the position of president has generated impressive results over his seventeen years at the helm of the college; and

 

Whereas, Dr. Miller's accomplishments have been the result of listening to employer needs and finding innovative solutions. As an illustration, the Center for Manufacturing Innovation, established in 2016, expressed a need for an additional educational path toward management and leadership. To help fill this need, Dr. Miller led Greenville Technical College in becoming the first two-year college in the State to deliver a bachelor's degree in advanced manufacturing technology; and

 

Whereas, further, he worked to see that the Truist Culinary and Hospitality Innovation Center was established in 2020 to match the needs of restaurants and hotels for entry-level employees with people seeking a path to opportunity; and

 

Whereas, also thanks to Keith Miller, the Prisma Health Center for Health & Life Sciences became a central part of the Barton campus in 2024, creating well-qualified professionals for nursing and the allied health fields; and

 

Whereas, presently, his plans for the Welding and Automation Excellence Center are well underway, the center being expected to address the welding workforce shortage from a cutting-edge facility; and

 

Whereas, these workforce development solutions and many more have bolstered the state's economy while providing South Carolina's citizens with a path to success; and

 

Whereas, Dr. Miller has always believed strongly in personal involvement with his community, and his convictions have led him to serve that community and the broader community of South Carolina in various capacities. These include membership on the boards of such organizations as the United Way of Greenville County, Upstate Alliance South Carolina, Greenville Chamber, Urban League of the Upstate, and others; and

 

Whereas, on the occasion of his retirement, Dr. Miller's colleagues have planned a celebratory event in his honor, to be held June 14, 2025; and

 

Whereas, the General Assembly, grateful for the legacy of consistent commitment and excellence Dr. Miller has bestowed on the people of South Carolina, takes great pleasure in wishing him well as he enters retirement and trusts he will find much enjoyment in the more leisurely pace of the days ahead. Now, therefore,

 

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

 

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, honor Dr. Keith Miller, president of Greenville Technical College, on the occasion of his retirement, extend deep appreciation for his seventeen years of distinguished public service to the State of South Carolina, and offer best wishes for a satisfying and rewarding retirement.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Dr. Keith Miller.
