Branding Guide

Our brand strategy is like the script for our creative expression: It guides our decisions and gives us a framework for telling our story consistently.

It’s embodied in a useful set of tools and resources for anyone who communicates on the university’s behalf, so it’s tailored for marketers and communicators. It is the foundation for building out our ideas, our stories and our messages.
