What about something as recognizable as PISA with all 3 tracks interwoven (for example... PILAF:Public Intellectuals, LangLitLing And FinePerformingArts, or FLAP: FinePerfArts, LangLitLing, And PublicIntellectuals)? Or we can just go with a name that doesn't represent the tract names per se (like BABEL or OASIS).
