#10: Fontbonne AD Danielle Doerfler sits down with D3.ticker’s Maria Buckel to dive deep into how Doerfler has handled the closure of the institution. After announcing the closure the following academic year, Fontbonne issued a blanket waiver to give all student-athletes a choice: “You can stay at Fontbonne University. These are the things that we're offering. You can play for our athletic teams, as long as they come to fruition. Or you can go to another institute.” This allowed coaches to focus solely on what’s best for their students and serve as their de facto agents and advisors to help them land at another institution. On determining whether certain sports would play in this final year, the staff set summer dates to determine if teams would be viable and had conversations with coaches and athletes. In an effort to create the best experience possible in this final year, athletics added extended trips and trips to teams they do not normally play to create new, memorable experiences for student-athletes. Doerfler: “We were selling that over the summertime. I was speaking to student-athletes all the time in those meetings, explaining to them, ‘I promise you, take my word for it, your budgets are going to be the exact same the same experience you had at Fontbonne when you came here as a sophomore, you're now going to have as a senior.’” Asked what surprised her about the closure process, Doerfler was surprised by the requests from alumni for certain items.

#3: East Texas Baptist rolls out a new brand identity across the entire institution. Notable: “Central to the refresh is the introduction of the ETBU Shield. This new brand mark draws inspiration from the iconic cupola atop the Great Commission Center in the heart of the University’s campus. The ETBU Shield adds a meaningful dimension to ETBU’s brand, serving as a symbol of faith, learning, and tradition. […] While the Shield enhances the University’s brand presence, long-standing symbols such as the University Seal, ETBU Spirit logo, and Texas Tiger logo will remain active and prominent.” President J. Blair Blackburn: “Our refreshed brand is about honoring our past while positioning ETBU for the future. The ETBU Shield adds to our identity in a meaningful way, enhancing our Christ-centered mission, while our traditional marks continue to serve as recognizable symbols of the University.” (link)
