Lufkin, TX – Angelina College is proud to announce the promotion of Krista Brown to Vice President of Student Services. Formerly the Associate Vice President, Brown’s new role reflects her deep impact on the institution over the past five years and positions her as a key leader in shaping the college’s strategic direction for years to come.
In her time at Angelina College, Brown has overseen several major departments, including Admissions, Financial Aid, Recruiting, Marketing and Communications, and Athletics. Her leadership has contributed to measurable gains in enrollment, operational efficiency, and student engagement. Through dynamic recruitment strategies, impactful marketing efforts, and student-first process improvements, Brown and her team have helped build a culture of excellence throughout the college.
Under her guidance, the Student Services division has:
- Recruitment has implemented both high-touch and high-tech strategies to share the AC value proposition to prospective students and families;

As Vice President, Brown will expand her focus to include strategic planning that supports institutional growth and aligns Student Services with the college’s long-term goals.
“I’m honored to step into this role and excited for what the future holds,” said Brown. “I truly believe the progress we’ve made is a direct reflection of the talent and dedication of the colleagues with whom I work alongside daily. The success of our students is a shared achievement, and I’m proud to be part of a team that never stops pushing forward.”
