What will it be?: MUW begins next steps in naming process
SUMMARY: Mississippi University for Women is considering a name change, but after receiving negative feedback on the proposed name “Mississippi Brightwell University,” the school has decided to go back to the drawing board. The consulting firm has generated a list of potential name alternatives, and the university has launched a survey to gauge interest in those names. President Nora Miller said that the decision to change the name is necessary to reflect the university today and increase potential enrollment. The university plans to make an announcement about the name change in February, and the change will require approval from the state legislature. Alumni, students, and prospective students have all expressed their opinions on the potential name change.
