Connecticut College Editorial Style Guide
The Connecticut College editorial style guide is a resource to ensure consistency in College communications. It should be used in conjunction with Connecticut College’s visual identity guide at http://graphics.conncoll.edu/.
Consistency strengthens the overall presentation and image of the College and enhances how alumni, students, parents and others understand and support Connecticut College.
Use this guide when writing for Connecticut College communications, including the public website, print publications and electronic communications. It is not to be considered in any way a guide for academic writing.
The guide draws upon the Associated Press Stylebook as the primary source. For questions that are not addressed in this Connecticut College guide, please refer to the AP Stylebook and Webster’s New World Dictionary. For other questions, please contact Amy Martin at amy.martin@conncoll.edu.
The Office of Marketing and Communications is responsible for supporting the quality and consistency of Connecticut College’s image and reputation. We appreciate your cooperation in using these guidelines. The style guide will continue to evolve as AP and other standards change.
