Greenville Technical College announces third President

The Greenville Technical College Area Commission announces that Dr. Larry Miller has accepted the position of college president, becoming the institution’s third leader. Dr. Larry Miller will replace Dr. Keith Miller, who is retiring on July 1, 2025 after 17 years as president.

Dr. Larry Miller has spent five years as vice president of learning and workforce development at GTC, achieving remarkable results. Recent accomplishments include increasing the number of credentials awarded by 238 percent in one calendar year, leading change within online offerings that moved the program from unranked by Newsweek in 2022 to 21st in the nation in 2024, and establishing a partnership with Greenville County Schools that has driven GTC to rank first in the state for dual enrollment.

A respected leader known for innovative thinking, investigative research, and forming strategic partnerships with industry leaders to drive student outcomes, Dr. Miller earned his PhD in Public Administration at The Maxwell School – Syracuse University and has authored numerous education finance and policy publications. With over 25 years of experience in academia, Dr. Miller is a sought-after higher education executive with expertise in strategic vision and execution, data-driven leadership, national fundraising, and operations management. He is an advocate for economic mobility, recruiting underserved students, and championing cross-functional teams to achieve ambitious performance objectives.

“With the interest and support of the entire college community, the Area Commission has conducted a thorough national search resulting in a decision that ensures the future success of the college and its students,” said Ray Lattimore, chair of the Greenville Technical College Area Commission. “Under its first two presidents, Greenville Technical College has built a reputation as a national pacesetter, and I feel confident that with Dr. Larry Miller as the institution’s next leader, we can achieve the ambitious goals that will only accelerate our strong momentum.”

The Association of Community College Trustees (ACCT) assisted in the hiring process. In all, 61 candidates from across the nation were vetted, and four finalists participated in the final interview process.
