College Presents New Brand Identity

Manhattan College logoManhattan College is launching the first phase of The Promise, the College’s new advertising and promotional campaign, designed to deliver clearer and sharper messaging and a more recognizable public image. The Promise campaign will highlight key information about the history of the College and define the distinctive values of a Manhattan College education. It will also initiate a new approach to promoting the College through various forms of social media (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Linkedin), a new website, admissions marketing materials, and a standards and usage guide, which are all part of phase two of The Promise campaign and will debut in fall 2011.  

The campaign is the product of a year-long process that involved extensive research and focus groups, and included current and prospective students, faculty, parents, alumni, donors, trustees, the Christian Brothers community, and other stakeholders. The Promise campaign seeks to distinguish  Manhattan as a premier Lasallian Catholic institution with a special emphasis on the College’s heritage.

“Our new strategic plan commits us to strive for a new level of excellence and our marketing campaign will make a bold statement about that commitment to prospective students and the wider community,” says Brennan O'Donnell, Ph.D., president of Manhattan College. “The marketing initiative is intended to get people to sit up and take notice, and to inform them in a powerful way about what makes a Manhattan College education distinctive and valuable.”

Along with the campaign, the College is unveiling a bold new official logo. The logo represents the College’s identity through three key elements encased in a traditional crest: the symbolic M representing the institutional name, the founding date 1853 positioned as the foundation, and the Lasallian Star of Faith (“Signum Fidei”), which symbolizes the five core principles set forth by St. John Baptist De la Salle. Those principles are faith in the presence of God, respect for all people, commitment to quality education, an inclusive community, and concern for the poor and social justice. The font and color selection are classic and true to the College’s heritage.

In addition to the official College logo, Manhattan College will also retain an updated version of the Jaspers block M athletic logo.

“We are proud to be central to the development of Manhattan College’s new brand identity, an identity that is traditional yet fresh and enduring. This revitalized new brand sets us apart to become the first choice educational selection for millennials,” says Ed O’Hara, senior partner of the NYC-based branding firm SME.

Application of the logo will begin immediately with implementation continuing throughout the academic year. Logo management and guidelines will be coordinated by the college relations’ office.

Business Students Visit India as Part of College’s New M.B.A. Program

Manhattan College M.B.A. students gathered at Brenntag Ingredients.As an academic component to Manhattan College’s new graduate M.B.A. program launching this fall, 10 graduate business students from the Class of 2012 embarked on a two week trip to India earlier this summer to gain a first-hand look at the rising Indian market.

Prior to departing for India, the students had two classroom meetings to discuss and analyze India’s unique place in the global economy and how businesses operate. Students must submit a final paper at the end of summer as part of the completion to this academic component. The trip was designed to offer students the opportunity to visit a variety of local companies and factories, and learn more extensively about day-to-day business operations in India. In addition, students attend onsite seminars with Indian businessmen, politicians, intellectuals and social activists to discuss contemporary issues and problems relating to the Indian economy and the business environment.

The trip began in Delhi, India with a visit to the U.S. Embassy, and students heard about careers in the State Department and the current economic and political situation within India. On the second day, the students listened to presentations on Model Rural Youth Development Organization (MRYDO), a non-profit organization that provides services to underdeveloped communities (such as Najafgarh, Delhi and Haryana) at the company’s main office in Prem Nagar. In particular, MRYDO explained how the company is helping to empower the women of these communities through self-help groups.

“This was one of the more rewarding stops on the trip and prior to visiting MRYDO, all I knew about micro-finance groups was what I read about in class or in the newspaper in relation to Haiti and other third world countries,” said Eduardo Baez ’11. “Getting the opportunity to see the inner workings of these groups provided me with insight as to how people from rural communities and villages are able to empower themselves and start their own business, and the concept of inter-person lending is powerful and its potential had far reaching effects. One of the women in the village was able to send her daughter off to college and others were able to start their own businesses.”

“We were told that the women and children within these groups are taught several skills in order to better their lives and their financial situations,” added Baez. “We got to see the classrooms where they were taught cosmetology and sewing.”

The remainder of the trip was spent touring and seeing other companies including: Brenntag Ingredients, a distributor of industrial and specialty chemical ingredients; Quatrro BPO Solutions, a global business process outsourcing market share company; and Tata Consulting Services (TCS), a subsidiary of the Tata Group. The students also saw the Indian Institute of Management in Bangalore (IIM), a prestigious institution, which offers post-graduate programs.

In addition to the academic portion of the trip, students were able to explore and experience the city of Bangalore’s Bull Temple, botanical garden and the palace, the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, go to an elephant camp and much more.

“I feel there is no better way to learn about doing business in India than to actually be there on the ground,” said Grishma Shah, Ph.D., assistant professor of management and marketing in the school of business. “This not only engages the students with professionals on the field, but more importantly, it enables them to observe, experience and absorb the thousands of things going on around them. All of this culminates in a holistic experience, which allows for a much greater understanding of the larger paradigm in which business operates in India.”

Mechanical Engineering Students Participate in Mini-Baja Competition

From June 8 through June 11, five Manhattan College mechanical engineering students (Mark Kaszczak ’11, Christopher Grech ’11, Michael Flynn ’11, Joseph Messina ’12 and Walter Trapp ’13) attended the Society of Automobile Engineers (SAE) Mini-Baja competition in Peoria, Ill., at the Caterpillar Testing and Education Facility. Prior to attending the conference, clubs from schools across the country designed, built and tested small off-road vehicles.

Manhattan College vehicle

The three-day competition included an examination of each school’s vehicle design, a formal presentation by students, a rigorous safety check and individual events (hill climb, a maneuverability test, a suspension test and a top acceleration event). On the last day, each vehicle participated in an endurance race around an off road track with rough terrain, bumps, jumps, ledges and hills as many times as possible in four hours.

Manhattan College placed 82nd out of the 115 registered schools and since returning from the competition, the students plan to complete performance tests this summer to further enhance next year’s vehicle.
