Yuma, Arizona - Arizona Western College has announced two name changes that are effective immediately. The Main Campus at 24th Street and Avenue 8E will now be called the Yuma Campus; to differentiate it from AWC’s other learning centers in San Luis, Somerton, Parker, Quartzsite and Wellton. Most student services functions are available at these locations, and they are all centers of academics and learning in their respective communities. Changing to the name the Yuma Campus more accurately reflects the site’s geographical location, and aligns it within that naming protocol.
