Technical College presents 2025 presidential medallion to Bill Bootle
Summary
The Technical College of the Lowcountry presented its presidential medallion for 2025 to honoree Bill Bootle (accepted by his son), citing his role in founding the HVAC program and securing a $2.3 million Title III grant for the college.
Dr. Goff presented the 2025 presidential medallion to honor Charles W. "Bill" Bootle for decades of service to the Technical College of the Lowcountry. Dr. Goff said Bootle helped establish the college's HVAC program, was instrumental in founding the college and career skills center, and helped secure a $2,300,000 Title III grant to improve student persistence and graduation.
Bootle could not attend; his son, introduced in the program simply as Ed, accepted the medallion and offered family remarks. "Wish he could be here," Ed said, recounting his father's military service and long commitment to encouraging local enrollment at TCL. The college recognized Bootle's civic leadership and work with local organizations, noting his past Rotary presidency and veteran status.
The presentation cited Bootle's decade-long service on the college area commission representing Beaufort County and credited him with helping shape signature career programs used by regional employers.
