The Office of College Communications and Marketing has the responsibility to ensure that all official Saint Anselm publications and printed materials project a consistent editorial and graphic identity.

To ensure editorial consistency among printed and Web publications, the college follows the guidelines of the Chicago Manual of Style for all publications except Portraits Magazine and news related writing, which follows the Associated Press Stylebook and Briefing on Media Law. Our guide for word use and spelling is Webster’s New World College Dictionary . We have created an online style guide (www.anselm.edu/styleguide) addressing college-specific usage as well as the most common style questions regarding capitalization, punctuation, title, etc. For guidance on style questions not addressed there, refer to The Chicago Manual, AP Stylebook, or Webster’s Dictionary .

Publications and advertising required by all academic and administrative departments of the college, whether produced on campus or with external vendors, should be reviewed by the Office
of College Communications and Marketing. As needed, the director of publications will work with staff and faculty to assist with design, review, and content. Admission and development publications have scheduling priority.

The Office of College Communications and Marketing offers editing, design, and print production management at no cost to departments, to help create the best publications possible to meet specific needs. Photography, external design services, printing, and postage are charged to the department requesting the service.

Fonts
We recommend Times, Times New Roman, Helvetica, or Arial in size 10, 11, or 12 points for letters or other written correspondence.

College Colors
Color plays a special role in creating a distinctive identity. A beautifully designed publication can lose its connection with the college when the predominant colors do not feature and complement the selected college colors.
