Identity Standards (Branding) Policy Committee

In order to build public confidence in and awareness about the College and its programs and services, we need to be able to communicate to the public effectively, consistently and in such a manner that promotes and enhances the reputation of the College. Our colleagues and the public should be able to easily recognize that a brochure, poster or Web site is affiliated with our College.

The Identity Standards Policy Committee, a standing committee of the UGA College of Veterinary Medicine, is the group that helps set and disseminate branding standards throughout the College. Members are approved by the Administrative Council and serve five-year terms.

Current committee members are:

Kat Gilmore, Public Relations Director
Sue Myers Smith, Web Manager
Amy Thompson, Academic Affairs
Marti Brick, Alumni Relations Director
Dr. Steven Holladay, Anatomy and Radiology
Ruth Davis, Animal Resources/MAF
Dr. Ben Brainard, at-large representative
Dr. Jerry Saliki, Athens Diagnostic Lab
Rachel Steffens, Athens Diagnostic Lab
Cherie Iler Wall, Business (Fiscal) Office
Melissa Farmer, Dean's Office
Brad Gilleland, Educational Resources

Dr. Tom Robertson, Physiology and Pharmacology
Dr. Steve Thayer, Population Health
Autumn Peppers, Small Animal Medicine
Gabriel Beal, Teaching Hospital
Student representatives (leaders involved with clubs or other programs)

Representatives are people in positions appropriate to this mission; they will likely be those who maintain Web sites, and/or those who often format or create presentations, publications and other materials affected by the identity policies.
