Brand and Usage Guides 

  • How we refer to ourselves
  • Preferred
  • Western Michigan University Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine
  • When an abbreviation is necessary
  • WMed

 

The Short Story

When it comes to launching a brand, consistency is key – consistency in design, text and in our name. If we expect external audiences, including the media and the general public, to refer to us correctly, we must do so internally, as well. Whenever possible, we refer to ourselves by our full name – Western Michigan University Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine. When an abbreviation is needed, we refer to ourselves as WMed.

 

In writing, the first reference should always be our full name, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses – e.g., Western Michigan University Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine (WMed). After this instance, the abbreviation can be used on its own when necessary. Second and subsequent references also can be ‘the medical school’ in instances when no other schools of medicine are referenced.

 

Some More Detail and Examples

Here is some more background on our name and abbreviation, rules of thumb and answers to frequently asked questions:

 

In Writing

We refer to ourselves by our full name whenever possible, especially in formal situations and documents. In writing, after the first instance if an abbreviated version of the name is required, we refer to ourselves as WMed. We should never assume our audiences already knows us, so it is important to always use our full name in the first instance. Here is an example of how to introduce the abbreviation in writing:

 

Western Michigan University Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine (WMed) recently rebranded itself.

At the event, faculty and staff also welcomed the new first-year medical students to WMed.

 

In Conversation

It is best to always use the school's full name in conversation with external audiences and people who are not intimately familiar with Western Michigan University Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine. However, acronyms and "nicknames" are often used as an internal shorthand – a way for us all to refer to ourselves without using our full name. Our internal shorthand is "WMed," and this is how we can refer to ourselves in internal meetings and informal internal communications when the full name is too cumbersome.

 

Why WMed?

Using a single, consistent shorthand—WMed—when an abbreviated version of our name is required will help reinforce our name – Western Michigan University Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine. Because our name is so close to our old name (Western Michigan University School of Medicine), using the acronym will help the change take hold internally and externally over time.

 

Why Does It Matter?

Acronyms, nicknames and shorthand references often build up organically, and if organizations aren't careful, these nicknames can end up causing confusion externally. Referring to ourselves consistently will, over time, cause those who are less familiar with us to also refer to us consistently by our correct name. Our name—in its full and abbreviated forms—reinforces who we are, which will help the general public become more aware of us over time. Ultimately, it helps us control our message and how we're represented to the world.

Troubleshooting:

  • Ensure you’re connected to the Wmed-Secure network or accessing the Lexi site through the proxy (i.e., http://online.lexi.com.wmusom.proxy.liblynxgateway.com/.)
  • Move to a strong wifi or cellular network if you’re having issues installing the app off campus. The application is transferring a significant amount of data to your mobile device.
  • Check how much storage your device has available. LexiComp recommends having at least 2 GB of available storage to sync databases to your device.
  • Apple devices: the application requires iOS 11.0 or later installed on your iPhone or iPad. You can check whether your Apple device is running on the latest iOS by navigating to Settings > General > Software Update.
  • Android devices: the application requires OS 9.0 or later. You can check whether you Android device is running on the latest OS by navigating to Settings > About.

What is MFA?

It is an authentication process that requires a user to provide two or more verification factors to gain access to a resource such as an application, online account, or a VPN. Factors are categorized by Something you know (Passwords, PINs); Something you have (Badges, Token generators, Smart phone apps); Something you are (Biometrics).

Why do we need MFA?

It can prevent most brute force attacks and phishing attempts from compromising the organization and its data. The nature of computer-based operations means that a single account being compromised can lead to significant harm to the organization, its staff, students, and patients. By enabling MFA, it becomes far more difficult to compromise an account as a username and password alone will not grant access.

Does MFA mean I’m safe from phishing emails?

No. While compromise from phishing attacks is more difficult with MFA in place, it is not impossible. The attacker will still have your password and may access systems that do not have MFA. Phishing attacks can also be used to install malware to compromise your computer. Users should continue to be diligent and utilize the Phish Alert button when they receive a suspicious email.

How Does MFA work for external access to WMed systems?

  • The Pulse Secure VPN app will require MFA authentication every 2 weeks based on device.
  • If using a browser app, you will be asked to do MFA anytime you are asked for WMed credentials. It depends on the browser as to how often this will happen. We cannot say a determined amount of time because it depends on cookies, different browsers, etc.
  • If you have applications loaded directly onto your device and you are off site those should hold for 90 days and then you will be asked to do MFA again. Examples would be if you downloaded the Team's client, Microsoft Office installed on your local device, or the Outlook desktop application.

Define: Simultaneously conducting a virtual and in room meeting.

 Words to know:

  • Devio: A specific type of hardware used by WMed rooms to allow a laptop to use in the room speakers, camera, and microphones.
  • RealConnect: A service that allows distance learning conferencing hardware to connect to a Microsoft Teams meeting.

Difference between RealConnect and Devio

  • RealConnect only connects Teams Meetings to the room technology(e.g. Polycomm), Devio is service agnostic.
  • RealConnect does not require a host computer to connect the meeting, it uses the in room touch panel to manage content. Devio requires a host computer to manage the meeting. 

Locating a Room

Rooms are designated with the specific tags, Devio and Realconnect.  WMed rooms can be searched using Room Finder.

How to use Room Finder:

  1. Login to Outlook Web Access (https://webmail.med.wmich.edu)
  2. Select the ‘Calendar’ Option
  3. Select ‘New Event
  4. Select ‘Search for a room or location
    1. Select ‘Browse with Room Finder
  5. Select Building
  6. Select All Cities->Kalamazoo>WMed Room List
  7. Select ‘Features’ drop down
    1. Use the Devio and Realconnect filters to find your rooms.

Developing the security mindset

Each time we receive an email, we should attempt to establish a level of trustworthiness by looking at the major elements of the email using a top-down approach.  Each of these element's should be reviewed for "Red Flags". 

We must approach each email from a security mindset first and then once the email has passed our mental trustworthiness check we can proceed to conducting normal business communications.

What were the red flags of the Security Checkup simulated phishing email?



Red Flag Examination: 
  • Warning Banner: (Red Flag # 1) 
    • The email is coming from outside of WMed, but is using an internal organizational email address.
  • From field: (Red Flag # 2) 
    • This one is difficult to discern because it says that it is coming from "security@med.wmich.edu".  Unfortunately, the "From" field can be easily spoofed, so it's not always straight forward. 
    • Despite it being easily spoofed, it is a good field to compare against other email elements such as the warning banner or hyperlinks.
    • We must ask ourselves the following questions: 
      • Have I ever received an email from this account before or am I expecting an email from this account?  No.
      • Should this have a warning banner on it? No.
      • Is this something that WMed IT typically uses for communication?  No, WMed IT uses support@med.wmich.edu to communicate to the organization.
  • Date/Sent field: 
    • Nothing unusual here.
  • To field: 
    • Nothing unusual here.
  • Subject field: 
    • Neutral or difficult to tell, but it is raising the level of importance of the email, so we need to be a little more on guard and review all the elements of the email.  Attackers try to elevate importance, increase urgency, or cause fear.
  • Content:  
    • Neutral or difficult to tell, IT could be asking for a security checkup review, but this is specifically focusing on everything surrounding a person's credentials.
  • Hyperlinks:  (Red Flag # 3) 
    • This is the most significant Red Flag.  
      • The hyperlink URL is very strange (https://34.75.2o2.lol).
      • It does not match the From/Sender email address. 
      • WMed services typically utilizes the med.wmich.edu domain for it's information services.  
  • Attachments: None

If you are needing help logging in to Epic, you must reach out to Bronson IT as they handle all Citrix/Epic user accounts. Their number is 269-341-6330.


If you need help just finding the Epic app, see the image and steps below. 


1. Open the Available Applications app on your desktop.

2. Click on Citrix Workspace to install/load it. 

    - If Citrix is missing from this menu, click on the refresh icon on the bottom-left corner of the Available Apps window.
    - If it is still missing after refreshing, contact WMed IT.


Once it's loaded, Citrix will prompt you to sign in. Your Citrix credentials should be the same as your Epic credentials. 









If you Citrix is installed but not login is coming up and you do not have any Epic icons on your desktop, you will need to either sign-in a different way or reset Citrix altogether.

1. To sign-in a different way, right-click the Citrix icon on your taskbar next to your clock. 
    
    - You may have to click the ^ in order for the Citrix icon to show.

Logo file types are broken into two main categories: vector and raster files.

 

EPS Files: High-Quality Print Projects 

A vector file (built and saved with a .EPS extension) is made up of lines. These lines never become pixelated, so can scale to as big or as small as you'd like.

 

EPS logo files should be used for materials that will be printed, including paper-printed items (e.g., brochures, posters, business cards), branding pieces (e.g., vinyl banners, signage), swag (e.g., shirts, pens, bags, mugs), and printed advertising (e.g., magazine or newsprint and billboards).

 

Here is a breakdown of when to use each color version:

 

CMYK version (also known as 4-Color, full-color, 4C, positive)

This is the preferred logo and should be used the majority of the time. It should be used for pieces that use full-color printing (e.g., brochures, advertising, collateral, etc.) The logo is considered a positive logo and should be used on white or light backgrounds.

 

Black version (positive)

These logos should be used when printing in grayscale (black and white materials). The logo is considered a positive logo and should be used on white or light backgrounds.

 

White version (also known as a reversed logo)

The white, or reversed, logo should be used on dark backgrounds, such as WMed brown. This version should be used any time the positive logos are illegible on any material. Therefore, it may be used on printed pieces, advertising, swag, etc.

 

PMS versions (spot color printing, positive)

PMS4625 – PMS7562 - Brown & Gold (For two-color printing)

PMS logo versions are only meant to be used for professional, spot color printing with Pantone ink (i.e., one-color printing or two-color printing). That means those are the only colors being printed on the materials. Examples of use would be for professionally-printed letterhead, business cards, swag, etc. We recommend only using PMS values when the printer is specifically requesting them (meaning they are printing in Pantone). More often than not, printers will use CMYK. Pantone printing is done with specific inks and therefore do not show up accurately on screen (digitally) or printed on a full-color (CMYK) printer. These logos should be used on white or light backgrounds.

 

PNG Files: For Web

PNGs are also a raster image type. Because raster images are constructed using a fixed number of colored pixels, they can't be dramatically resized without compromising their resolution.

 

PNG logos maintain transparency so they can be placed on different color backgrounds. They should not be used on professionally-printed materials. 

 

RGB

RGB Small (72 dpi): Use for full-color web projects

Black-Gray Small (72 dpi): Use for grayscale web projects

White Small (72 dpi): Use for web projects with dark backgrounds

 

JPEG: For Microsoft Programs

JPEGs are also raster image type. Because raster images are constructed using a fixed number of colored pixels, they can't be dramatically resized without compromising their resolution.

JPEG logos are ideal for use in such programs such as Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and other common software programs. They should not be used on professionally-printed materials.

JPEGs cannot have a transparent background so each of these logo versions have a white background and should only be used on white backgrounds.

 

Here is a breakdown of when to use each color version:

RGB Large (300 dpi): Use for full-color printing (e.g., Microsoft Word)

RGB Small (72 dpi): Use for full-color viewing on digital materials (e.g., Powerpoint)

Black Large (300 dpi): Use for grayscale printing (e.g., Microsoft Word)

Black Small (72 dpi): Use for grayscale viewing on digital materials (e.g., Powerpoint)
