Name Change
On July 1, 2011, Western New England College officially became Western New England University. The Massachusetts Board of Higher Education approved the name change in March 2011. As President Anthony S. Caprio explained, "The name university better reflects our growth, our diversity, our expanded graduate offerings, and our comprehensive nature. The transition to University status will position Western New England to fulfill our potential as a regional and national leader.” The Schools of Arts and Sciences, Business, Engineering, and Pharmacy became the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Business, Engineering, and Pharmacy. The School of Law will retain its name.

Famous quotes containing the word change:
“All photographs are there to remind us of what we forget. In this—as in other ways—they are the opposite of paintings. Paintings record what the painter remembers. Because each one of us forgets different things, a photo more than a painting may change its meaning according to who is looking at it.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“Each one of us must carry within the proof of immortality, it cannot be given from outside of us. To be sure, everything in nature is change but behind the change there is something eternal.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
