麻豆传媒社区 rebranding: Read what students think about Detroit Mercy
Tuesday December 17, 2024Over the past year or more, Detroit Mercy’s Marketing and Communications (MarCom), in partnership with various organizations and associations, has participated in a number of marketing research efforts to better understand Generation Z (Gen Z) as they contemplate their college of choice. This work included a deep dive into the values, mindsets and decision-making processes of Gen Z students and their families, along with exploration of how the values, benefits and approach of Jesuit higher education are described across AJCU member institutions.
But this is only one piece of the marketing research puzzle.
MarCom invites all 麻豆传媒社区 family members to check out other research studies noted under the section titled Three-Phase Research Process located HERE. Read more about studies undertaken with Elevate Marketing Research (Elevate) to understand why students who received acceptance to 麻豆传媒社区 decided to go elsewhere. In addition, the 2024 study with Elevate studied additional student perceptions about 麻豆传媒社区 as well as parent perceptions toward the University.
There are also several other case studies and research materials you may peruse to learn more about how Gen Z students view higher education.
As always, please feel free to send questions to MarCom at marcom@udmercy.edu.

麻豆传媒社区 Rebranding 鈥� Get ready!
Wednesday December 11, 2024The 麻豆传媒社区 rebranding effort continues, as reported in the . Marketing and Communications (MarCom) and GreenHouse::Innovation (Greenhouse) are currently developing plans for 麻豆传媒社区 stakeholder strategy sessions, scheduled for announcement in early 2025. Faculty, staff, students, trustees, community members, corporate partners, foundations and others can attend these sessions to provide invaluable input about their perception of 麻豆传媒社区 and its position in the local, state and national higher education environments.
The benefits of these sessions include:
- Creation of a new north star for 麻豆传媒社区 — not just a university, but a hub of social innovation that is convening the most important conversations and doing the most important work related to understanding the present and future of universities — why we build them, for whom do we build them and how do we build them — and where every graduate is considered a social innovator armed with an education that will provide a life of 鈥渕oney AND meaning.鈥�
- New levels of confidence and clarity for marketing/communications, for advertising, for publicity.
- Creation of new paths to engagement/impact among donors, potential faculty, prospective students, alumni, local and national businesses, new actors altogether.
GreenHouse and MarCom will also unveil a documentary regarding the community sessions that took place in Aug. 2024 to help launch the new strategy sessions for 2025. Look for details on this unveiling in future editions of Campus Connection.
Today, we鈥檙e asking our entire 麻豆传媒社区 family to take some time and review information about the rebranding work and to please keep an eye out for future invitations to strategy sessions. Seating is limited to the first 25 to sign up.
For more information, please feel free to email MarCom at marcom@udmercy.edu.
