While coming up with social media content can be more challenging in the summer months when students are away, we have LOVED seeing your posts throughout the summer. Whether it's giving followers a behind-the-scenes look at the rare blooming of the corpse flower, sharing informational IT must-knows to make the transition easier for incoming students, or celebrating the accomplishments of our incredible student athletes, the posts that have filled our feed have left us smiling this summer (And of course, who can say no to a post about dogs??). 

Learn all about new Grand Valley branding at the August 5 University Communicator Network meeting. Join us from 3-4:30 p.m. on Monday, August 5, at the L. William Seidman Center. Jennifer Allard, associate vice president of Marketing and Branding, and Bryan Bickford, associate director of Advertising and Writing, will give a presentation and recap the perception research from focus groups.
