Elevator Speech
An elevator speech is a quick synopsis of who we are—both AASCU and AASCU institutions. It is written to say something powerful even when there is only a short time or a small amount of space to say it.
Say Something Powerful, but Keep It Brief
The origin of the term “elevator speech” is that you should be able to say it to someone during a brief elevator ride. In our case, we sometimes need to be able to get our message out using a limited number of words because of space or time constraints.
