SAC held a contest during the Spring 2024 semester to choose a new name for the publication. A selection committee narrowed down 10 finalists, and an advising committee selected five before sending them back.

The selection committee made a final decision and selected the name proposed by Ethan Rocke, a journalism and photography professor who was also a committee member.

ā€œA sundial harnesses the sun’s light to tell time, informing and empowering people,ā€ Rocke stated in a news release. ā€œThis function symbolically reflects the crucial role of journalists to illuminate truth in a free society.ā€

An official rollout of the rebranded newspaper is set for the Fall 2024 semester.
