True -- the name change was symbolic of a more fundamental change in the school.

To be clear, she was always proud to be associated with UNCG, as were most W.C. alumnae I've known. They just wanted to to be clear that they graduated from W.C., not UNCG.


And I love the story about Southern Virginia University (formerly Southern Seminary). I may have to start calling you "Panama."
