University Libraries Development and Alumni Relations is launching a new phrase for certain outreach events: “University Libraries Presents.”
The goal is to enhance engagement with donors, alumni, and the greater Penn State community. We anticipate that the use of “University Libraries Presents” will help establish brand recognition and convey a unifying theme around certain strategic University Libraries events. The phrase evokes a level of excitement and anticipation and we hope it brings people to our libraries.
Look for “University Libraries Presents” to make its appearance around the Libraries soon….
