GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.—There’s no more Mesa State College.
As of 12:01 a.m. Wednesday, the university started going by its new name, Colorado Mesa University.
The school changed its name in part to attract out-of-state students to campus and to reflect the school’s growth in enrollment and graduate programs.
People who type in the school’s old website address, , are directed to instead.
The Daily Sentinel reports ( ) new stationery and business cards for employees will be printed within the next couple of weeks, and new T-shirts and other gear are being ordered with the university’s new logo. A new advertising campaign, recruitment materials and class catalogues featuring the new logo will debut around Sept. 1.
The school’s mascot will remain a maverick.
