Style Guide

Producing Campus Publications

WSU Vancouver produces a number of campus publications including newsletters, program brochures, recruiting materials, flyers, advertisements, as well as other informational pieces for internal and external use.

To ensure consistency of style and design, the Office of Marketing & Communications is the checkpoint for all publications designed for external use. Marketing & Communications is available to review all publications, as well as provide design and writing guidance.

Referencing Washington State University Vancouver

  • Upon first reference Washington State University Vancouver should be spelled out.
  • WSU Vancouver or the Vancouver campus are proper second references
  • Washington State University Vancouver should NOT be rendered as WSUV, WSU V, WSU-V, WSU/V or WSU at Vancouver.
