A house RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND 
HONOR DR. KEVIN POLLOCK, PRESIDENT OF CENTRAL CAROLINA TECHNICAL COLLEGE, UPON 
THE OCCASION OF HIS RETIREMENT AFTER PROVIDING OUTSTANDING SERVICE TO THE 
COLLEGE, AND TO WISH HIM CONTINUED SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS IN ALL HIS FUTURE 
ENDEAVORS.

Whereas, it is 
altogether fitting and proper that the members of the House of Representatives 
of the State of South Carolina should pause in their deliberations to express 
their gratitude to Dr. Kevin Pollock for his significant contributions to 
Central Carolina Technical College (CCTC) as he begins a well-deserved 
retirement; and

Whereas, Dr. Pollock prepared 
for a career in education by earning a bachelor's degree and a master's degree, 
both in education from Central Michigan University. He earned a doctorate in 
higher, adult, and lifelong education from Michigan State University; and

Whereas, before coming 
to CCTC as its president in 2021, he served as president of Montgomery County 
Community College in Pennsylvania and president of St. Clair County Community 
College in Michigan; and

Whereas, Dr. Pollock 
has more than forty-two years of education experience at private, public, 
community, and technical colleges and universities. His diverse roles and 
strengths include college administration, strategic planning, leadership, and 
enrollment management; and

Whereas, he is a senior 
consultant with the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and 
Admissions Officers (AACRAO), serving as a national expert on student success 
models. A renowned national speaker, Dr. Pollock has given captivating speeches 
at more than one hundred forty-five conferences and colleges; and

Whereas, the author of 
more than twenty-five book chapters and articles, Dr. Pollock recently coauthored 
and coedited a nationally published book entitled SEM as a Connector; 
and

Whereas, during his tenure 
as president of CCTC, Dr. Pollock has initiated multiple new programs, 
including a new strategic enrollment plan and process, and the college has joined 
a national student success platform called Achieving the Dream (ATD). ATD works 
with community colleges to provide integrated, tailored support for areas such 
as leadership, data, and equity that will improve the success for students at 
CCTC; and

Whereas, he is 
currently in the early stages of leading the college through the decennial 
reaccreditation process with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools 
Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC). Dr. Pollock, along with the team at CCTC, 
turned the declining enrollment trend around in 2022 with a more than a twenty 
percent increase in enrollment; and

Whereas, he plans to 
spend many happy hours of retirement with his wife, D'Lynn, and his three adult 
children; and

Whereas, grateful for 
his many years of distinguished service to Central Carolina, the South Carolina 
House of Representatives takes great pleasure in extending best wishes to Dr. 
Kevin Pollock as he transitions to a richly deserved retirement and the 
unhurried pace of the days ahead, and the members wish him many years of 
enjoyment in his well-earned retirement. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House 
of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize 
and honor Dr. Kevin Pollock, president of Central Carolina Technical College, 
upon the occasion of his retirement after providing outstanding service, and 
wish him continued success and happiness in all his future endeavors.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution 
be presented to Dr. Kevin Pollock.
