Onsite Registration/Check-in
9:30 a.m.- 12 noon
Personalized Notecard Class
Perfect for the creative group—every participant will get to choose her or his own flat notecard design from Igloo’s wood type, lead type, and vintage images. The design could consist of a few images, a word or two, or a few letters. These creations will be set up in a vintage 1942 Vandercook letterpress, and all participants will print 10 copies of their flat notecards and choose envelopes to coordinate.
12 noon-12:45 p.m.
Lunch
Enjoy pizza and salad from Dewey’s Pizza located right across the street from Igloo.
1-2 p.m.
Session: Gen Z—Visual and Verbal Clues
Modern or traditional? Simple or bold? Clear or abstract?
Carolyn Stephenson, Executive Strategy Director, Brand Experience, Ologie
Kristin Evans, Director of Insights and Strategy, Ologie
Born between 1996 and 2010, the members of Gen Z have a very different mindset from generations before them—especially when it comes to making a choice about college.
Ologie found that there was a big gap in research on this generation as it pertains to their motivations, communication preferences, aspirations, attitudes, and identities around the college search, so they conducted an extensive research study to do just that.
One of the components of the study focused on Visual and Verbal Cues.
Every college or university has a distinct story to tell. But each institution’s underlying offer—an educational experience—is comparable. That’s why higher education brands run the risk of getting lost in a sea of sameness. To stand out and ensure their stories are heard in a distinct way, colleges and universities have to lean on visual and verbal elements.
