It’s official! Mesa State now Colorado Mesa University

Grand Junction, CO – August 10, 2011, Mesa State College has officially become Colorado Mesa University. The renaming of the school more accurately reflects what the institution has become and helps those who live out of state understand where the university is located.

Community members, students, faculty and staff celebrated the new name and status Tuesday evening at the grand opening of the newly renovated and expanded Houston Hall. Houston hall was the first building on the main campus of the university. At that time, the university also released to the public its new signatures, logos and wordmarks.

This morning, the university’s new website went live. It is at www.coloradomesa.edu . The new site includes a new "mega menu" that allows web users to quickly access a menu of links with related titles and subtitles. It continues to feature audience-specific navigation with links of particular interest to current students, faculty and staff, alumni and the community. A redesigned athletics website, CMUmavericks.com, will launch later this month.
