them to apply what they’ve learned in the academic programs to make positive social or environmental change. Name change and re-brand In September 2022, United College formally announced its decision to re-brand from its former name, St Paul's University College. The former colour scheme, green and brown, was changed to blue and black, and the logo became a blue 'U'. The name change was motivated by the College's desire to let go of its previous religious affiliation. Principal Rick Myers explained the name change by stating, "It's a beautiful name that speaks to the inclusive values of today's College while still honouring those responsible for its founding and early development."
