After years of speculation about a name change, Villa Julie College will become Stevenson University, the president announced this morning.
The name reflects the Baltimore County town where one of the university?s campuses is located and eliminates any confusion about the university no longer being a Catholic women?s college, President Kevin Manning said.
“The ultimate goal of all these changes of course is to enhance Villa Julie and the possibility of other students coming,” he said.
Hundreds of students, alumni and faculty attended the announcement, and they broke into applause after students unrolled a white-and-green banner to display the new name.
