Middlesex County College announces name change
The college’s Board of Trustees approved the name change in October, which took effect Jan. 1.
A public unveiling of the new logo and visual identity is planned for some time in May.
“We know two things,” College President Mark McCormick said in a prepared statement. “First, that students receive an excellent education here, and when they transfer to a four-year college or university, they do as well or better than students who start at a four-year institution. They are very well prepared. But we are also well aware that there is a stigma attached to community colleges. While we know the high quality of the educational experiences we provide, that message has not fully penetrated in our community. We hope this name change will go a long way in doing that.”
