Brand audit meetings begin We encourage everyone to take part in the brand audit, which is taking place Oct. 3-5. The University has hired the Educational Marketing Group, Inc., (EMG) to conduct a brand audit and image perceptions survey of UND. Once EMG's report is completed, it will enable us to communicate more strategically with our various audiences and stakeholders. EMG is in the first stage of the process which is a situational analysis of the campus. Many different universities around the country have been involved in such a process. EMG will be on campus Oct. 3-5 to conduct meetings with many different campus individuals and entities. A meeting for department chairs and faculty members is set for 8 to 9 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 5, in the Memorial Union Lecture Bowl. Faculty members are encouraged to attend this session. If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. -- Don Kojich, Executive Associate Vice President for University Relations.
