When the Kentucky Community and Technical College System was formed in 1997, President John Shumaker stepped forward immediately to provide extraordinary assistance from the University of Louisville through an executive loan of Dr. Ron Moore, Vice President for Information Technology. Over a period of approximately 18 months, Dr. Moore�s vision, spirit, and leadership led to the creation of the state-of-the-art system-wide technological infrastructure that has enabled the 28 institutions of KCTCS to communicate and conduct business efficiently and effectively as the Commonwealth�s newest and largest institution of higher education. The University continues to provide support to KCTCS by hosting our servers and by providing training for KCTCS faculty in the development of distance learning courses. The value of the University of Louisville�s contribution to the early success of KCTCS is immeasurable.

TMMK is the largest donor to the KCTCS Foundation with contributions totaling more than $404,500. In addition to their generous monetary support, the volunteer leadership and commitment of Tom Zawacki, TMMK General Manager-Administration, as a charter member on the KCTCS Foundation, Inc. Board of Directors has been instrumental in the early success of the Foundation. This year, Toyota provided 40 robots and 6 programmable logic units that were distributed to 14 community and technical colleges for instructional use by faculty and staff. TMMK has also been a generous supporter of many of the KCTCS colleges over the years and is truly a statewide benefactor worthy of system-wide recognition.
