The Division of Marketing and Communications assists the University community in creating unique and compelling marketing and advertising initiatives.

Throughout this website are the tools you need to assist you in creating your communication materials.
What is a brand?
A brand establishes a first (and lasting) impression of a product, service or institution. Think of any successful clothing label, automotive company or higher education institution. They all have a unique, distinguishable mark and a set of attributes that differentiates them from competitors.
Brands often evoke an emotional response and an affinity with consumers. When you see a particular logo you may think of safety (Volvo), innovation (Apple) or quality healthcare (Mayo Clinic). A brand is conveyed through consistent visual, written and physical practices which means consistent logos, messages and delivery of services or products.
