Requirements
We Like These Examples
We like these concepts: Forever new frontiers, making the state wiser/more successful/healthier/etc.; the words revolution, forward, innovation; or a string of words that convey an institution focused on results and engaging a states populace in powering up its economy and quality of life.
We DO NOT like: Anything beginning with We are or Where, nothing with the words college, university, advantage or making in it; overly vague or abstract names; nothing that refers to admissions or marketing to prospective students.
We Absolutely Must Have
A timeless, fresh, catchy, memorable and short phrase that can be used on a wide variety of platforms and collateral; a concept that represents and markets the breadth of the institutions mission (such as economic development, health care, research, teaching, community outreach); and an idea that can ignite a social media initiative that engages a wide variety of constituencies on multiple levels. For instance, we are fans of the Powered by Orange concept (and its results; see http://www.poweredbyorange.com for details) at Oregon State University.
