It’s or its. Their or they’re. Pesky hyphens and proper usage are addressed in the recently updated Millersville University Editorial Style Guide, published by the Office of University Communications & Marketing.
A handy tool for those in divisions, departments and offices who write and edit University publications, the style guide offers authors greater consistency of style and easy reference to campus usage. Some of the features include University references to places, buildings and programs; capitalization, abbreviation and spelling rules; and helpful links.
“Maintaining a consistency of style presents a strong image of Millersville University to the public,” said Amy Dmitzak, assistant vice president for University advancement. “Usage and style here do not mean individual literary style. The purpose of the Editorial Style Guide is to reflect the University as a whole to help readers understand our messages.”
A companion piece, the Institutional Identity Guide for Millersville University, provides usage guidelines for graphic style including the logo, seal, athletics marks and brand identity.
For questions about the style guide, or to make a suggestion, contact Pat Coulson, assistant director of communications, at 871-5826 or Pat.Coulson@millersville.edu.
