Mohave College launches new name and branding, highlights Advanced Manufacturing Training Center
Summary
Mohave College said it launched a new name and look on Aug. 1 after research and community focus groups; the college highlighted expansion of bachelor's programs, health-care program milestones and a new Advanced Manufacturing Training Center with a ribbon cutting planned Sept. 24.
Mohave College announced a new name and brand identity that officially launched on Aug. 1 and highlighted program expansions including bachelor's degrees and a new Advanced Manufacturing Training Center.
College presenters said the change followed roughly two years of research that included meetings with students, employees and community focus groups, and that "more than 70% approved the college changing its name and look," after which "the board agreed." The presenters said the rebrand accompanies an expansion in programs and services.
Mohave College highlighted milestones across several health-care programs: nursing assistant graduations across four campuses, radiologic technology graduates' pinning ceremonies, medical assisting student recognition and paramedic students completing their program at the Lake Havasu campus.
The college said its Bullhead City campus hosted 21 high school juniors for a two-day hands-on experience through the MASH program, run with the BHHS Legacy Foundation, to introduce students to careers in nursing, dental, radiologic technology and phlebotomy. The college also promoted an upcoming ribbon-cutting for the Advanced Manufacturing Training Center (AMTC) in Kingman scheduled for Sept. 24 and referenced a feature interview with Jason Gee, dean of career and technical education, on the college podcast.
The video directed viewers to mohave.edu for program information and to the college newsroom for podcasts and local updates. No new college board meeting minutes or formal vote records were provided in the video beyond the presenter's summary that the board agreed to the change.
