½ðɳÓéÀÖ

How do we convey the Boxer Spirit?

In many ways, it’s intangible: It’s the small, nurturing environment students find on our campuses. It’s the sense of belonging and family they develop with their professors and with one another. It’s the spirit of community-mindedness, of caring for one another and the world, of preparing to live lives of purpose in a global community.

The ½ðɳÓéÀÖ University brand is all of that — it’s the way people feel when they think of ½ðɳÓéÀÖ, and it’s the cues that trigger those feelings, from logos and graphics, to photos and videos, to the words we use to talk about ½ðɳÓéÀÖ.

The Office of Marketing & Communications manages the ½ðɳÓéÀÖ University brand’s representation in the world and provides a consistent framework for the entire ½ðɳÓéÀÖ community to convey that brand.

Through BrandFolder, our digital asset management system, we provide photos, video clips, templates, editorial standards, graphics, logos, fonts and colors to assist our employees and students in following brand standards.
