Or maybe Peninsula State College will set up shop.
Those are two of the five finalist suggestions for renaming Seminole Community College as part of a school makeover.
At least the school won’t be known as Seminole Clown College, Florida State College of Greater Oppertunity, Leave the Name Alone College, Orange County Community College or the inspirational (yawn) State College.
Dr. E. Ann McGee, SCC president, announced in August that the college’s name would change because the school is expanding to include its first four-year degree.
A call was put out for suggestions, and 1,007 different names were submitted out of the 3,422 received. (The other finalists are: East Florida State College, Seminole State College of Florida and Weldon State College.)
If these were the best of the lot, what were the losers?
Well, many of them on the list printed below contained “Community” in the name, which is what the school is getting away from. Others referenced out-of-county places such as Orlando, Daytona Beach and Mount Dora.
A bunch of them were misspelled (such as “Oppertunity, Sandford, Seninole, Collage and Comoonity).
Maybe there should be some more writing classes offered at the renamed school.
Many of the names had merit, while some of them didn’t even make it to the renaming committee.
It’s nice to know that college humor is alive and kicking. About a dozen names on the list had words X-ed out by SCC.
After reviewing the list, I took out another dozen or so names that I thought were too obscene for printing in the Herald. Let’s just say there is a newspaper adage – “It takes a dirty mind to put out a clean newspaper” – and leave it at that.
Reporter Rachel Delinski is a little disappointed that her suggestion didn’t make the cut: Big Tree College.
She graduated from SCC and already had a promotions campaign worked out, including slogans such as “A Place to Branch Out” and “With Roots Here, Who Knows How Far You’ll Grow.”
SCC’s district board of trustees is scheduled to make a final decision on the new name at a Sept. 21 meeting.
At least I won’t have to buy a lunch for anyone; I had offered to pick up the tab for the person who submitted the winning name – if they also had submitted it to me by the school’s deadline. None of the names that were sent to me were chosen as finalists.
Here are all the suggested names that were fit to print:
