SUMMARY: The Mississippi University for Women is considering a name change, but the proposed name, Mississippi Brightwell University, faced backlash on social media. President Nora Miller is reviewing feedback and reiterates the commitment to a name that aligns with the university’s mission and diverse community. Alumni and faculty oppose using directional or historic names, believing they don’t reflect the university’s uniqueness. Suggestions like the University of Northern Mississippi, Callaway State University, and Welty University were rejected due to naming guidelines.
