Northeast Texas Community College hosted a welcome brunch reception on Wednesday, Nov. 19, to honor Dr. Kevin Rose, NTCC’s sixth president. The event was held in the Whatley Center for the Performing Arts foyer and served as an opportunity for the campus community to officially celebrate Rose’s new leadership role.
Rose is an NTCC alumnus and has served the college in a variety of roles over more than 20 years, most recently as Senior Vice President for Student Success. He was appointed president in May following the retirement of Dr. Ron Clinton.
Mr. Russell East, Vice Chair of the NTCC Board of Trustees, offered opening remarks and introduced Rose. East commended Rose’s extensive experience and deep commitment to the college, noting that his history with NTCC uniquely positions him to guide the institution forward.
In his remarks, Rose emphasized a theme of gratitude—expressing appreciation for the Board’s confidence in his leadership and for the continued dedication of NTCC’s faculty and staff. He also reflected on the significance of returning to lead the institution where he began his own higher education journey.
Many thanks to the NTCC Human Resources and Food Services departments for organizing the event and providing the brunch.
