Grossmont Adult Education

Introduction
 
Brands are all around us. When people talk about brands, they often refer to logos and slogans. But our brand is so much more. It tells a story about Grossmont Adult Education (GAE) as GUHSD's adult school and as a member of East Region Adult Education (ERAE), one of 71 California Adult Education Program consortia. It reflects what we do and say, in a bright, bold, and dynamic way. It is how we talk about GAE and ERAE to our friends, neighbors, business partners, and visitors. It is the message we send to future, current, and former students, about the high quality we - staff, instructors, co-workers, faculty, colleagues of Grossmont Adult Education - strive to deliver in our classrooms, workshops, programs, and beyond.
 
Communicating a clear, consistent and compelling story to our many different internal and external audiences helps people associate our name with credibility and quality.

Print Communications
Posters, event materials, banners, forms, surveys, handouts, postcards, catalogs, bookmarks, T-shirts, and more - people see GAE materials in many formats. GAE provides guidelines but does not require a universal editorial style beyond the threshold of logo use. Programs are encouraged to use their preferred style guide. Before publication, all materials, in any media, are to be aligned with East Region Adult Education branding guidelines and approved by the director of GAE.
 
Digital Media
Network topology icons and web templates are to be aligned with East Region Adult Education branding guidelines and approved by the director of GAE.
 
Social Media
Meeting our learners where they are is one of our core values. Reaching out to them through social media is invaluable. When using Facebook and Twitter, Instagram and then next great app or social platform, it is important to develop a voice that represents GAE in a clear and convincing manner. Use Grossmont Adult Education or Grossmont Adult Ed or GAE when naming an account. Use an identifiable image as the graphical representation. Be mindful of your audience and all co-workers whom you present.
