CAMPUS NEWS  is a periodic communication from President Laura B. Leatherwood to inform the community about Blue Ridge Community College.

Introducing a New Blue Ridge Community College Brand

It is an exciting time at the College. In celebration of our 50th anniversary , Blue Ridge Community College is unveiling a new brand, Education Elevated , to tell the depth and breadth of our story as we enrich students’ lives and meet the workforce needs of Henderson and Transylvania Counties. 

We are dedicated to the success of our students, our community, and our region. As our region is growing and evolving, so is the College on our path forward  – together. 

Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the College is dedicated to elevating the educational experience for students to prepare them for 21st century success in the workforce or at four-year colleges and universities. Backed by months of research, Education Elevated was developed from the valued feedback of our community, and our new brand reflects Blue Ridge's impact on the lives of our students and in our community.

In the College's new logo, there are "three summits" in the visual mark that represent both our core student programs – Job Training, College Transfer, and Continuing Education – and our brand pillars – Quality, Affordability, and Access .

We would be honored if you would join us in celebrating our new brand and telling others about it. Please feel free to share your Blue Ridge story with us on social media and tag it with #BlueRidgeElevates.

Thank you for your continued support during this next chapter for Blue Ridge!
