SUMMARY: Mississippi University for Women (MUW) is entering the next phase of its rebranding efforts, possibly including a name change. The university has partnered with marketing firm Chernoff Newman to establish a clear brand identity and select a name that reflects that identity. Chernoff Newman has been meeting with various groups, such as the Naming Task Force, faculty, staff, students, and alumni, to gather input. They are expected to present their findings and suggestions for names to the President’s Cabinet and Naming Task Force soon. The naming and branding process is set to be completed this fall and presented to the legislature in 2024.
