UMR changes its name

That's right, my good old University has finally decided that its time for a name change again..After the original Missouri School of Mines underwent a name change in 1964 -68 to the present University of Missouri-Rolla, its now gonna be called Missouri University of Science and Technology effective January 1, 2008. This is the result of some pretty aggresive campaigning by Chancellor John F Carney III since October 2006, who has felt for a long time that the new name will reflect the technology aspect that we stress so much on at UMR. Let's see if the name change does any good to the university..that time alone will tell
