Formerly nicknamed the Crusaders, the university dropped that name and associated mascot and logos in 2021 because of the "negative connotation and violence associated with the Crusader imagery," and because of its use by certain hate groups. The school announced on August 10, 2021, that its athletic teams would officially be known as Beacons effective immediately.
