GET TO KNOW WSU SPOKANE: CAMPUS STYLE GUIDE

Available online, this guide serves as a resource to decode the “Alphabet Soup” we immerse ourselves in here at the University. Find out when to use  “Washington State University Spokane” and when to use “WSU Spokane”. Here’s your chance to find out at long last why we can’t refer to the Interdisciplinary Design Institute as “IDI” and much more.  Check out the online style guide at http://www.spokane.wsu.edu/news&events/style_guide.asp. It’s also attached here as a Word document.

Send any updates or corrections to the style guide to Barb Chamberlain, chamberlain@wsu.edu.
