Campus Conversation reminder
Do you remember when “Driven to Discover” was new? Do you know what is taking its place? And wonder how and when that will happen?
For the answers to these and similar questions you may have, join UMRA’s Campus Conversation with Chris Gade, U of M vice president for marketing communications, from 3 to 4:30 p.m. on April 7 in the Dale Shepherd Room of the Campus Club in Minneapolis.
For background see "Brand Language Labs: Beginning the integration of Leave a Future" from U of M Marketing Communications.
Be sure to register in advance (required) for this conversation, which is being coordinated by Jerry Rinehart and Michael Hancher.
And if you’re in the mood for socializing afterwards, the Campus Club Bar will be open to the public for Happy Hour until 6 p.m., and for dinner until 8 p.m.
