Rodney Allbright, president of Alvin Community College (ACC) in Texas, has announced that he will step down as president when his current contract ends in 2014. He began his tenure as CEO of the college in 1976—nearly 36 years ago. Allbright said he is particularly proud of the quality of education students receive at ACC, noting that its transfer students have a higher grade-point average than students who start their college education at a four-year institution.
