When the College of Alameda (CoA) began exploring a visual rebrand in early 2025, the question wasn’t simply “What should the new logo look like?” The question that arose was “Why now?”

Laney College and Merritt College campuses were both filled with smiles, laughter, andharmless Halloween mischiefas children from the Childcare Centers participated in Halloween festivities. Dressed in adorable costumes - from superheroes and princesses to tiny pumpkins and firefighters - the children brightened everyone’s day as they made their rounds collecting candy and snacks. 

Merritt College is embarking on a new digital chapter. The college has launched a completely redesigned website that sticks to its core mission: put students first. Making it easier than ever to access resources and support, the new website offers more accessibility than its predecessor.

College of Alameda (CoA) celebrated a major milestone on September 30, 2025, with the ribbon cutting of its new Transportation Technology Center (TTC), a $36 million state-of-the-art facility built to serve the next generation of skilled transportation technicians. The project, made possible through Bond Measure G, reflects the Peralta Community College District’s commitment to career education and community advancement.
