New president of University of Tampa announces branding change

University of Tampa president Teresa Abi-Nader Dahlberg, who began her tenure in June of this year, announced a new moniker for the school. 

Instead of UT, the University of Tampa’s new nickname will be UTampa.

“There are numerous other UTs in the higher education space, including the universities of Texas, Tennessee, Toledo, Toronto and Tulsa,” Dahlberg says in a released statement. “Since its founding, the University has been closely linked to the city of Tampa, and by calling ourselves UTampa, we can strengthen that association, eliminate confusion and assert our pride in our university and our city.”
