College Messaging

When messaging about CFAES, start with the whole and then ladder to other components. For example, CFAES is part of Ohio State, so the university name always takes the lead or is combined with the college name to show ownership of the college by the university.

Names of CFAES entities and departments then follow the college name to show ownership of them by the college. Sources or faculty members can be identified by their specialty or by their official title, depending on which better tells the story. Sources or faculty members can also be introduced before or after the college name, depending on the flow of the writing.
