Stony Brook University School of Medicine has changed its name to Renaissance due to the longstanding support it has received from Renaissance Technologies. This seems to be a trend amongst medical schools, many of which have changed their names in recent years out of deference to benefactors. This includes Brown, Penn, Mt. Sinai, and many others, as described in a New York Times article from 2015.
