After nearly two years of research; evaluation; drafting; and input from ����ר�� students, faculty, staff, and alumni, ����ר�� has created a new brand platform, and with it, a new expression of what it means to be part of the ����ר�� Community. In partnership with our branding agency, Mindpower, we’ve created a new branding platform with the following objectives:

• To develop a distinctive, compelling, and cohesive brand identity;
• Provide a platform that supports the overall goals of the University; and
• Enhance consistency of messaging throughout your time at ����ר��, from prospective student to current student to alumni.

The brand strategy, borne out of the research, is to solidify and advance ����ר��’s position as a leader in creating opportunity through its strong academics, exceptional experiential learning offerings, and dedicated advising. The new branding platform empowers ����ר�� to communicate these messages while celebrating the strong shared sense of optimism and ‘can-do’ spirit within our community.

Our new wordmark is a highly visible aspect of the branding initiative—you’ve likely already started to see this new wordmark replace the old “swoosh” logo. Simple and straightforward, the new ����ר�� wordmark is bold, optimistic, simple, and unembellished.

In addition to the wordmark, we’ve begun introducing new messaging and visual designs within our new brand platform, including new web design (you're in it right now!), videos, banners, and signs. You’ll also see new stories about students, faculty, and alumni using this new design, not to mention updated emails and much more. This is an exciting time to be part of the ����ר�� Community!
