Key messages
Telling our story
Whether you’re introducing yourself at a conference or at a backyard gathering, preparing a speech or completing a media interview, it’s important to speak about the university in a consistent manner. These messages reflect the university’s strategic priorities, and will help us all tell our story in the tone and the voice that aligns with our brand.
NEW: We've designed a special Key Messages Guide you can download and share with external audiences. If you'd like printed copies, please order them through the university's Stationery eStore.
