(UC) "OP communications consolidation moves forward"

9/29/08
The Office of the President just announced a new communications department.

Housed under the External Relations division, this newly created department will bring together editorial and creative design services in print, Web and video under one organizational umbrella. This department will also be responsible for media relations, speechwriting and marketing and branding efforts, all under the leadership of Alan Hoffman, newly appointed senior vice president of External Relations.

The consolidation will bring together communications functions being performed by 34 positions spread out over the existing Strategic Communications department, Human Resources and Benefits, Student Affairs and other UCOP departments. The new communications unit will hold 27 positions, which will be filled on a competitive basis beginning with the leadership positions.

UCDA Campus Violence Poster Project

The University & College Designers Association (UCDA) is running an auction of works created for their Campus Violence Poster Project. The project is a response to the shootings at Northern Illinois University, Louisiana Technical College, and Virginia Tech University.

As Michelle summarized: “some are kinda interesting, difficult subject.” You can see for yourself at UCDA’s Flickr page on the project, and you can bid on the posters via eBay.

More Olympics?

Have you heard all you want to hear about the Beijing Olympics? Are you Phelpsed out? Does the thought of hearing Bob Costas’ make alliterations with Usain Bolt’s name make your head feel like it’s going to explode? Then don’t worry, this Olympic post from COLOURlovers—“Design and Branding Trends: Olympic Games”—has nothing to do with synchronized diving, beach volleyball, or two-minute, human-interest mini-dramas on athletes overcoming adversity.
