Our Brand
The University of Minnesota Duluth is a complex organization filled with a wide variety of activities. We reach a diverse audience that is inundated with a large volume of marketing and communication messages. A strong and consistent brand helps us break through the clutter and connect with our audience.
UMD has a distinct role within the University of Minnesota System, with unique characteristics such as a powerful sense of place, focus on community, and distinct quality academic experience. As such, we embrace the U of M Driven to Discover brand platform and complement it through our Real Connections campaign to highlight Duluth’s unique attributes.
We are all born with a passion to search, with a fundamental need to discover. At the University of Minnesota, this curiosity is part of our collective DNA. We provide a thriving community for those with an overwhelming drive to teach and to learn, to research, and to serve. At the U of M, we continually inspire the next great generation of innovators and empower each other during our search for knowledge.
We are Driven to Discover.
