Western Carolina University: The Brand
The color purple is powerful, and beautiful. Yet still, standing alone, or even adorned with gold, it doesn’t tell a story. It doesn’t say a lot about our campus, the people in it, or the personality of our university. Our brand isn’t simply a color or a logo. It’s a story about who we are, and we invite you to join us in telling it.
Brand Personality
WCU’s rich relationships with our students, faculty, alumni, partners and prospects are deeply important to us. Our brand personality describes who we are and how we relate to others.
