A New Name: Portland Seminary

Bruin Notes

ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓƵ Fox Evangelical Seminary will change its name in January to Portland Seminary – a move that will help strengthen its regional presence and expand its national outreach, according to seminary leadership.

Located at the university’s Portland Center campus, Portland Seminary will continue to be a part of ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓƵ Fox University. The new name will, however, be accompanied by more options in curriculum and course delivery for masters students. The seminary’s marketing strategy, meanwhile, will focus on its new, more memorable name that projects a sense of place.

The announcement, still pending accreditation approval as of press time, comes a little more than 20 years after the seminary’s last name change, when what was then Western Evangelical Seminary merged with ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓƵ Fox in 1996. That merger led to more than one name change, as ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓƵ Fox College became ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓƵ Fox University.
