For the better part of 40 years Carol Clarke served the Upstate of South Carolina, western North Carolina, and northeast Georgia as a main news anchor for WYFF News 4, the NBC affiliate in Greenville, South Carolina.
Clarke co-anchored the six and 11 o’clock newscasts for WYFF-TV weekdays and fronted “4 Your Health” as the station’s health and medical reporter until her retirement in December 2025.
Clarke is an award-winning journalist. She won a prestigious Peabody Award for “Chronicle: Paul’s Gift,” a documentary on organ donation. She served as a producer, anchor and reporter for that program. She has also won seven Emmy awards, three National Headliner awards, and a Champion-Tuck Economics Prize for her reporting on the textile industry. She has been honored with the Master’s Award from the South Carolina Broadcasters Association. She was inducted into the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Silver Circle.
Clarke is a graduate of Northern Michigan University in Marquette. She earned a master’s degree in health and nutrition education from Hawthorn University.

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 navy gonfalon with the official College Seal represents the institution as a whole. The gonfalons for the four academic divisions display the division names and the colors associated with the academic disciplines of the divisions: Arts and Sciences – white and science gold; Business and Public Services – crimson, drab, light blue, midnight blue, peacock blue, and science gold; Health Education – apricot, gray, and sage green; and Engineering and Industrial Technology – orange and 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 and Industrial Technology Division.
