On&Off Campus looking a little different? The new ANU identity is here!
|
This week we release the ANU Identity to the community – a project to capture and better communicate what is distinctive about ANU.
If we can better talk about ourselves and what we do with a coherent voice – we will be heard more clearly, and this will enable us to cut through much more effectively with all the great ideas and activities we undertake.
While this work is a gradual rollout, we encourage all staff to look at the resources, templates and training opportunities available to adopt and implement the ANU identity. |

|
Sound familiar? A lot of us are finding ourselves saying or thinking this about the COVID-19 vaccines, after a lifetime of getting other vaccines without really giving them much thought.
We’re varying degrees of curious and worried about the COVID vaccines, but we need to be mindful of sorting fact from fiction when it comes to sourcing information.
Check out Tracy and David’s myth-busting message for a dose of confidence in COVID-19 vaccines. |
