Brand extensions are core entities that directly support and further the university’s mission. They are highly visible and must always be tied directly to the master brand lockup, to reinforce and elevate the strength of the brand.
University Communications created these lockups for us. Always use the provided artwork without modification. Do not add, remove or adjust text, or alter the elements in any way. You can review rules for usage here, and contact University Communications with questions.
