New from the CASE Store: The Real U: Building Brands That Resonate with Students, Faculty, Staff, and Donors

Your institution has a brand story, and that story should be believable and compelling. But what if your school’s brand isn’t strong, focused and valued? Does it matter? Can that be changed?

Yes, and yes, answers Robert M. Moore, in The Real U: Building Brands That Resonate with Students, Faculty, Staff, and Donors.

The Real U presents the theory and application of branding principles in a higher education context and incorporates case studies from colleges and universities. This book will help each institution understand its brand story; shape it to meet the interests, values, and needs of stakeholders; and project it into the marketplace in powerful, compelling and effective ways. Read an excerpt from The Real U’s introduction—and then order your copy through the CASE Store today.

Parting Shot II

The University of Findlay’s oil derrick fountain, a gift to the university from the Classes of 1956 and 2006, was dedicated Oct. 7, 2006, during Homecoming weekend. The design of the fountain recognizes the Ohio city’s early days as an oil town. Shortly after the university was established in 1882, the first gas well was drilled in the city of Findlay. It produced oil for a short time, bringing new industries and people to the area, many of whom remained as the gas well was depleted. The university continues to embrace its early history; the school’s athletic teams are the Oilers, and UF’s mascot is Derrick the Oiler.
