George Washington University finally has its new name.
."This process was truly driven by our students, faculty, staff and alumni, and the result is a moniker that broadly reflects our community — and our distinguished and distinguishable GW spirit."Students first voted to remove the Colonials nickname in 2019, and they presented a petition to the school the following year.
Among other finalists were the “Ambassadors,” the “Sentinels,” the “Revolutionaries” and the “Blue Fog.” "To have 47,000 points of feedback from the GW community is a testament to the pride people have in this institution, and we are proud to offer them a new moniker that will propel us as we move ahead in our third century," vice president Ellen Moran said in a statement.
George Washington University was founded in 1821, and has a total enrollment of about 26,000 students. The Revolutionaries compete in the Athletic 10 conference. Their men’s basketball team went 16-16 last season, and hasn’t made the NCAA tournament since 2014. The women’s team went 18-13 last season, and most recently made the NCAA tournament in 2018.
