Help us shape UAA's brand in the higher education marketplace
by Jamie Gonzales |
This year UAA is embarking on its first major branding effort. Branding in higher education is important for a number of reasons: it can help create loyalty, define an institution within a competitive market, build affinity over time, grow enrollment, increase the number of donors and average gift size and help in faculty and staff recruitment.
Over the course of this academic year, and in partnership with the Nerland Agency, we'll be conducting research to find out what students, faculty, staff and the public think of UAA. Based on what we learn from the research, we will begin work on articulating our brand.
Your voice can help us in this process! Please join us for one of the "UAA brand development" discussion groups:
