FKA (formerly known as) doesn't work for my problem here

mardi 29 septembre 2015

Okay, so this is NOT a writing project per se. What I'm really doing is sprucing up my resume, and my post-secondary degree came from a college that recently went university on me. (I'll make up a college name to illustrate here.) I graduated from Bedford Falls COLLEGE, but they are now called Bedford Falls UNIVERSITY.

The problem here is that if I write down on my resume that I graduated from Bedford Falls College, and then they look it up, there is no such college, and there is also no "redirect" to their new-name web site. But if I write down that I graduated from Bedford Falls UNIVERSITY, that is NOT what my actual diploma says.

So I pondered the usage of FKA (formerly known as). And I thought about trying to be all clever by writing down the following:

DEGREE:

BA in Elementary Education
Bedford Falls University
(FKA Bedford Falls College)

But using FKA like that doesn't seem right, and maybe I should reverse it and write down like this instead:

DEGREE:
BA in Elementary Education
Bedford Falls College
(recently renamed Bedford Falls University)

But that seems kind of awkward. So I almost feel like I need an "opposite" to FKA. But I am unaware of an opposite to FKA.

How should I handle this??
