TRI-COUNTY TECHNICAL COLLEGE

Address to the ClAss of 2022 representAtive W. BriAn White

For 21 years Representative Brian White served Anderson County’s District 6 in the South Carolina House of Representatives.

A lifelong resident of South Carolina, former Representative White earned the reputation as an experienced and dedicated statesman who shapes public policy based on his commitments to strong families, sound economic growth and high-quality education.

A proponent of small business, he began his career as a flight instructor and commercial pilot in his family’s aviation business. He currently works as a commercial insurance agent at Marsh & McLennan Agency.

Rep. White served in a number of leadership roles throughout his tenure in the House, most recently as chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee from 2011 to 2018. In that role, he managed the House version of the state budget and served as a member of the State Fiscal Accountability Authority and the Joint Bond Review Committee. He also chaired the House Rules Committee. Before leaving the House of Representatives in 2022, he served on the Labor, Commerce, and Industry (LCI) Committee.

He served as South Carolina’s Legislative Sportsmen’s Caucus chairman from 2011 until 2013 and is a former member of the S.C. Palmetto Pride Board and Clemson University’s Forestry and Natural Resources Advisory Board. He served as president of the National Assembly of Sportsmen’s Caucuses from 2020 to 2022. In 2012 Rep. White was honored with the Southeast Legislator of the Year Award from the National Assembly of Sportsmen’s Caucuses.

In September 2022 Governor Henry McMaster recognized Rep. White’s service and accomplishments to Anderson County and to the state of South Carolina by honoring him with the Order of the Palmetto.

Rep. White is a graduate of Dixie High School and attended Erskine College and Tri-County Technical College.

He and his wife, Courtney, have three daughters, Amelia, Isabelle and Madeline. He and his family live in Anderson.

gonfAlons

The five academic gonfalons on display represent the College and its four academic divisions. Gonfalons, which are banners hung from crosspieces on poles, have been used since medieval times as symbols of state or office. The red and gold gonfalon with the official College Seal represents the institution as a whole. The gonfalons for the four academic divisions display the division names, the official College Seal, and the colors associated with the academic disciplines of the divisions: Arts and Sciences – white, science gold; Business and Public Services – drab, peacock blue; Health Education – sage green, apricot; and Industrial and Engineering Technology – orange, science gold.

MACe

The Tri-County Technical College Mace is carried by the president of the Faculty Senate, who leads the academic procession at commencement. Historically, the use of a mace dates back to the Middle Ages and was carried before or placed near a magistrate or other dignitary as an ensign of authority. In commencement exercises, the mace specifically indicates the authority of the College president to award degrees. The College Mace is made of pecan and brass and depicts the official College Seal. It was designed and manufactured by students in the Engineering Design Technology Department.

regAliA

Academic regalia worn by persons in the procession varies in style and color according to the highest degree earned. The border and edging of the hood are in the color of the discipline for which the degree was earned as follows:

Accounting Drab Agriculture Maize Arts, Letters, Humanities White Business Administration Drab Commerce, Accountancy, Business Drab Dentistry Lilac Economics Copper Education Light Blue Engineering Orange English White Fine Arts (including Architecture) Brown Forestry Russet Health and Rehabilitation Sage Green History White Industrial Arts Science Gold Journalism Crimson
