Yet, while these stories abound, they are not always told in a unified, intentional or visible way. In addition, there are some negative legacy stereotypes which have yet to be put to bed.<\/p>\n<p>The Marketing &amp; Communications Department, in consultation with GreenHouse::Innovation, will convene a fall 2025 Marketing Research Roundtable to close that gap by co-creating a shared understanding of what it means to \u201cbe Detroit Mercy\u201d \u2014 and to empower every participant to act as a storyteller, advocate and ambassador in respective circles of influence.<\/p>\n<p>We will hold a roundtable session on <strong>Tuesday, Nov. 11, from 8:15 a.m. to 1 p.m.,<\/strong> in the Student Union, Room 201, on the McNichols Campus.
