Contact Enrollment Management for table banners
To help coordinate the purchase of new display headers, table runners and standing banners, Shannon Stites in Enrollment Management is compiling a list of departments needing to replace these items. These items will be ordered in bulk. If your department plans to order new display headers, table runners or standing banners to integrate the new campus brand identity into your marketing materials, please contact Shannon Stites at 341-4378 or by email at sstites@umr.edu to get on the list. This will ensure that the university will receive a better price for the replacement of these items.
Missouri S&T in the news
Want to see what the new Missouri S&T word mark looks like on television? Check out the news story that aired Monday night on KOLR 10, the CBS affiliate in Springfield, Mo. KOLR 10 was on campus last week to do a story about some UMR students attempting to break the collegiate land-speed record. The team’s human-powered vehicle’s paint job proudly displays the Missouri S&T word mark. See for yourself by logging on to http://ozarksfirst.com/content/fulltext/?cid=12382 and clicking the “watch” button.
You can also see some still photos of the vehicle and the team in their Missouri S&T uniforms on UMR’s “Experience This” blog (http://experiencethis.mst.edu/).

Well, I wasn't in love with the logo when I saw it on paper or online. Then, I saw it painted on the HPV. Wow, the logo looks great!
I have to agree with Sarah. The StreaMiner looks awesome with the new logo. The new logo will take some time to get used to, but that is so with any big change.
Only 78 days until MST is here.
There is no doubt that the new logo looks awesome. Also, the transition plan is excellent. This may be a cosmetic change and it is necessary in the today's world. I really hope that the school takes advantage of this on-going momentum and mobilizes all the resources at its disposal to become at par academically with at least GA TECH and RPI, if not MIT. The placement of all the traditional engr. departments among the top 25 schools in the nation should become a dominant thought for the administrators. I am sorry to reiterate, but some of the key issues to be looked at are: PR machinery, research money/grants & research papers, holding international conferences, holding fairs in the other parts of the country and in some foreign countries to woo prospective students, etc.
