Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College announced that it is in the process of rebranding the school and that includes a name change.

According to WITC, the decision to rebrand came after some market research showed that "'Indianhead' is not recognized correctly as a geographic region, especially among younger stakeholders and those outside the district. The current name, "Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College," and its short initials, "WITC," caused confusion on what type of college WITC is and whether it's even a college."

The college says that its goal is to create a "modern name and mascot" that will help with name recognition and appeal. And you can help with that by suggesting a new name and mascot here.

There are several guidelines they'll need any suggestion to follow including, the inclusion of the term 'Technical College' in the name, the name is easy to understand and pronounce, not geographically bound, and a few others. Ideas must be submitted by November 6th.
