Style Guide Introduction

About

This publication provides guidelines for addressing identity standard issues that are likely to be encountered while producing publications for William Woods University. This style guide supersedes all previous versions. These guidelines are for general use. Scientific or technical publications may have their own requirements, and specific disciplines may be governed by their own style guides. Although individual styles naturally vary, using certain elements consistently will help us convey a positive and consistent image for the university.

The goal is for our publications to communicate effectively. To that end, identity marks have been designed to create legally protected visibility for the university’s name, services and activities, and to distinguish us from any other institution. The guidelines presented within this guide are based on the Associated Press Stylebook. Style rules commonly used at WWU are listed later in this style guide.
