Sept. 21, 2002 at No. 23 California.• Air Force at Boise State is one of four undefeated vs. undefeated FBS matchups

The Mountain West has announced a new branding and marketing campaign for the conference to further define the MW’s strong, energetic brand as it begins its 21st year as an NCAA Division I athletic conference.

Designed to make clearer the league’s purpose, vision and values the conference has adopted “At the Peak” as its tagline. The new high-impact moniker resonates the league’s personality and uniqueness as one of the elite conferences in college athletics.

The branding initiative has been in planning and development since February 2018. The Mountain West worked in partnership with Old Hat, a strategic marketing agency specializing in collegiate athletics, to develop a plan that would showcase the personality of the league.

Cradled among the most desirable locations in America, the Mountain West stretches to eight different states from the shores of the Pacific Coastline to the Rocky Mountains. The conference has long been known since its founding for its integrity and its commitment to the ideals of the student-athlete experience and the unique opportunities afforded to students at each institution.

From its inception in 1999, the Mountain West has been committed to excellence in intercollegiate athletics, while promoting the academic missions of its member institutions. Progressive in its approach, the Mountain West continues to cultivate opportunities for student-athletes to compete at the highest level, while fostering academic achievement and sportsmanship.

Now in its 21st year, the MW has been assertive in its involvement with the NCAA governance structure and has taken a leadership role in the overall administration of intercollegiate athletics. The Mountain West membership is comprised of 11 all-sport members: the United States Air Force Academy, Boise State University, Colorado State University, Fresno State, University of Nevada, University of New Mexico, San Diego State University, San José State University, UNLV, Utah State University and University of Wyoming. In addition, the University of Hawai‘i and Colorado College participate in the Mountain West as single-sport members in football and women’s soccer, respectively.

OFF THE FIELD

• The United States Air Force Academy is the only undergraduate institution in the world where students help design, build, test, launch and operate uniquely designed small satellites utilized in accomplishing real Department of Defense missions. USAFA currently manages three operational satellites in orbit.

• Boise State and San Diego State were named two of the most innovative na-tional universities in the country for 2019 in a U.S. News and World Report survey of higher education leaders (T45th).

• Fort Collins, Colorado (Colorado State) and Logan, Utah, (Utah State) are ranked in the top 25 in CollegeRanker.com’s annual “The 50 Best College Towns to Live in Forever” - Fort Collins No. 3 and Logan No. 25.

• Colorado State’s Professional Veterinary Medicine Program is currently ranked No. 3 in the nation, based on the most recent ranking by U.S. News and World Report. It has held a spot among the top three vet schools for at least two decades.

• New Mexico has been granted a Top Secret Facility Clearance from the Department of Defense and is entrusted with conducting classified and export controlled research.

• San Diego State students are graduating at record high rates across all seven colleges. SDSU now ranks No. 1 nationally in graduation rate performance, based on U.S. News and World Report’s most recent college rankings.

• San José State College of Engineering Professor Ahmed Banafa has extensive experience in research, operations and management, with focus on IoT, Blockchain, Cybersecurity and AI. He was named the No. 1 tech voice to fol-low, technology fortune teller and influencer by LinkedIn in 2018.

• In late 2018, UNLV was elevated to R1 “very high research activity” status by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education. UNLV is now in the top three percent of more than 4,000 institutions nationwide. Addi-tionally, New Mexico is also an RI research institution. Only 115 institutions in the country hold this distinction.

• Utah State was named one of the top 10 Fulbright U.S. Scholarship-pro-ducing Research Institutions by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.

• This year, Wyoming will open its $105 million Engineering Education and Research Building, a state-of-the-art facility including reconfigurable research laboratories, active-learning classrooms, an active-learning wet laboratory, a drilling and completions simulation laboratory, an advanced manufacturing laboratory and many other rooms.

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING:

“We feel the Mountain West is able to offer an experience to its student-athletes, fans, alumni and students that is truly unique and affords them opportunities not available anywhere else in the country. The Mountain West truly operates at the peak of excellence and we look forward to showcasing that through this campaign.” - Mountain West Commissioner Craig Thompson

“As a founding member of the Mountain West Conference, Air Force is proud to be part of the ‘At The Peak’ initiative. Collectively we have accomplished a great deal as a conference to date and we look forward to building upon those achievements in our bright future.” - Air Force Director of Athletics Nathan Pine
