Alvin College Announces New Name/Logo

Alvin Community College has officially been renamed to Alvin College.

The name change was recently approved by the Board of Regents and was announced during the annual Founder’s Day luncheon on November 4. To commemorate the new name, Alvin College also unveiled a new logo and branding.

“This change is vital for refreshing our identity and signaling growth while communicating our values, vision, and modern direction to students, staff, and the community,” said President Dr. Robert J. Exley. “A strong, cohesive brand helps build recognition, trust, and pride—both internally and externally. It distinguishes us in a competitive environment and reinforces our mission through consistent visual and emotional impact.”

The new name is a part of a new marketing initiative implemented by the college.

“This update reflects our continued growth and commitment to innovation,” said Wendy Del Bello, vice president of Development and Outreach. “It’s a new name, same mission—still centered on student success, community partnerships, and educational excellence.”

Alvin College was originally named Alvin Junior College when it was created as part of the Alvin Independent School District in 1948. Regents renamed the college to Alvin Community College in 1975.
