Dear UMASA members,

The UMASA executive team has decided that we would like to redesign the UMASA logo to better represent anthropology and its’ subfields. We have created this survey so that we can hear your input on what you would like to see in our new logo. If you have any ideas or input on things we can incorporate into the new logo, we would like to hear it! Responses will be collected until Friday, November 24th, 2023, after which we will begin the design process. We hope to have the new logo ready before the end of Fall Term, so you can expect to see the new logo within the next few weeks.

Please use this link to find the survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf1KjqI03Oy2mM-EKasA-V4oNE6GK6vPKrcNjqJHTSzFlTwng/viewform?usp=sf_link.

Thank you for your input, we look forward to hearing what you have to say!
