University Community Offered Opportunities to Participate in Branding Process
The Implementation Committee (IC) of Case Western Reserve University's Branding Task Group is seeking input from the university community as it begins the process of creating a logo design and brand-positioning platform that is reflective of the shared contributions of Case Institute of Technology and Western Reserve University and the university's current brand position.
In the first of what will be three phases of community input, the IC will host an opportunity for faculty, staff, students, alumni and friends of the university to offer ideas online and in campus forums. The online community can go to http://forum.case.edu/read/7/16777. For those able to attend a campus forum, please register for a forum on either Wednesday, March 28, at 5:30 p.m. in the Spartan Room of Thwing Center or Friday, March 30, at 12:30 p.m. in Clapp Hall 108.
The full memo and branding Web site include information on the next steps in the process as well as a list of IC members.
