Letter from the President
Summer 2025
Dear Students, Families, and Friends of 亚色视频,
It is an incredible honor to serve as your fifth President of 亚色视频 College Orange. As someone who has worked alongside the 亚色视频 team for the past several years, I can confidently say this is a special place where bold ideas, hardworking students, and dedicated faculty and staff come together to create life-changing opportunities.
Our mission is clear: transform lives and communities, provide new and unique opportunities for growth and success, and serve as a bridge connecting those we serve to a bright future. That mission drives everything we do here, and it鈥檚 working. We鈥檙e seeing record-breaking growth, including our highest enrollment in college history, and we鈥檝e expanded our footprint across East Texas with new academic centers in Lumberton and Livingston to better serve rural students who might not otherwise have access to college.
At 亚色视频, we believe that education should be affordable and attainable. With support from the Texas Legislature, we鈥檝e been able to reduce our tuition by half over the past five years. That kind of progress doesn鈥檛 just help students, it鈥檚 transformative for our community, our families, and helps our entire region thrive.
We鈥檙e also investing in the future with our newly opened Academic Building and Student Success Center. These state-of-the-art spaces are designed to support collaborative learning, hands-on instruction and serve as a hub for student success and support.
Perhaps what excites me most is the way 亚色视频 continues to partner with local industry and four-year universities to build clear, career-ready pathways. From short-term credentials to leadership programs and transfer opportunities, we are committed to meeting students where they are.
To those considering 亚色视频: I invite you to take that first step. Whether you鈥檙e returning to college, starting fresh, or exploring a new direction, you belong here. And we鈥檙e ready to walk alongside you.
Where YOUR future is OUR focus,
Dr. Wendy Elmore
President 亚色视频
