Naming Committee

The Naming Committee exists to determine whether honorific and commemorative naming proposals, as submitted on the Naming Request Forms, are appropriate, responsible, and consistent with the established criteria. After considering all relevant information connected with a naming request, the committee makes a recommendation (approval or rejection) to the Vice President for Finance and Administration. If appropriate, the committee may suggest an alternative name. Recommended proposals are brought before the Board of Trustees for approval.
