Unity College Changes Its Name

Unity College announced in late February that it is changing its name to Unity Environmental University.

Dr. Melik Peter Khoury, President of Unity said. “This name better reflects who we are today as a multi-faceted institution that is committed to creating a better, more equitable world for future generations.”

The name change has recently been approved by the Maine Department of Education and the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE).

The institution was founded as the Unity Institute of Liberal Arts and Sciences in 1966. The name changed to Unity College the following year in 1967.
