"MUW's Name Change Saga: The Rise of Wynbridge State University"

Mississippi University for Women proposes a new name, Wynbridge State University of Mississippi, in an effort to drop the gender-specific "women" from its name, while still marketing itself as "The W." The proposed name change aims to address recruiting challenges and honor the institution's legacy. This is the second attempt to rename the university, with previous attempts facing strong backlash from alumni. If approved, the name change would take effect on July 1.
