Branding Update
We are moving away from 鈥淯niversity of 澳门最快开奖 Central Administration鈥 to 鈥淥ffice of the President,鈥 and away from 鈥淯niversity of 澳门最快开奖鈥 to 鈥淯niversity of 澳门最快开奖 System.鈥 This new identity aligns with President Carter鈥檚 view of the role of the NU System office, and provides greater clarity to the public and campus colleagues about who we are and what we do. It鈥檚 a reminder, to ourselves and others, that we are a team focused on advancing the president鈥檚 strategic vision and providing value and support to the campuses and chancellors.
For detailed guidance, please see the Brand Transition Guide below.

Presidential Stationery and the Seal

The seal will be used on all official Presidential communication, the Presidential website, and all other print and digital items pertaining to the President.
A unique stationery set has been created for sole use by the President, which includes the seal embossed in gold foil on cream paper.

Board Policy on the University Seal: RP-1.4.1
The corporate seal of the Board of Regents, adopted February 26, 1944, shall be used in all ordinary business transactions, such as conveyances of land and other contracts made by the Board of Regents, where a seal is required by law or by the Bylaws, or by special action of the Board of Regents.
The corporate seal of the Board of Regents, adopted February 26, 1944, shall be used in all ordinary business transactions, such as conveyances of land and other contracts made by the Board of Regents, where a seal is required by law or by the Bylaws, or by special action of the Board of Regents.
Use of the University of 澳门最快开奖 seal should be reserved for formal and “official” uses by the University.
Non-Presidential Use of the Seal
The seal is used on the new University of 澳门最快开奖 System’s non-presidential stationery. This stationery is created for staff who work in the Office of the President and who are communicating officially on behalf of the university. The seal is also used on official university communication channels such as social media.
Please note that the seal is not a logo and should not be used in place of the NU System logo, such as on presentations, meeting agendas, notepads, or other internal, non-official or non-Presidential items. Any new potential use of the seal must be run through the Office of External Relations.

University-Wide Stationery System
The NU System/Office of the President stationery set was created to better match the University-wide stationery system initially developed in 2019.
As part of the strategic thinking that emerged from the 2016 BRT process, the Chief Marketing and Communication Officers examined smarter ways to invest NU鈥檚 communication dollars. They also looked to accommodate the new business realities the BRT process created鈥攊ncluding university-wide service groups, partnerships, and shared positions and dual appointments across campuses.
To address business realities, create alignment across the University and save money, the Chief Marketing and Communication Officers and their teams created a plan to refresh the U-wide stationery
system, with an intentional shift towards highlighting each campus icon. The NU stationery set had not been touched in over a decade and didn鈥檛 accommodate the University鈥檚 business needs鈥攊ncluding shared or dual roles across campuses. There was also an opportunity to audit paper costs and usage, look at more competitive pricing, and create efficiencies and standardization between campus print shops.
All four campuses worked together to create a smart, flexible stationery system that accommodated practical needs, elevated campus icons, showed unity across the university, and saved time and dollars. The teams also worked with Print Services to develop a seamless transition for new stationery requests.
The refreshed stationery set standardized paper use, created long-term savings in bulk purchasing and leveraged collective buying power. This internal change evolved the approved stationery standard and aligned printing processes across the NU system.
