• Increase enrollment in the University’s academic programs.
• Positively influence the University’s reputation as an outstanding educational resource, a leader in faculty-student research and a strong community partner.
• Promote the University’s brand in a credible, consistent and compelling manner (including protecting the brand in times of crisis).
• Facilitate the efficient operations of the University by increasing faculty, staff and student awareness and engagement, as well as effectively managing unexpected events/crises.
