Our institution shares many characteristics with our beloved mascot, the beaver. These qualities help define the way our brand should look and feel — creating alignment between who we are authentically as an institution and how our brand comes to life. Our personality traits shape the tone and voice of our brand, driving the image for all of our communications. Each of our brand’s traits was chosen deliberately, informed by a deep understanding of what it means to be a Beaver.
