The goal of implementing the SEU Editorial Guide is to ensure university-wide consistency and clarity in written communication across all channels.
The overall voice/tone of SEU is welcoming, relatable, and engaging.
Some modifications may be made based on the audience, such as a slightly more formal tone for donors or adding nostalgic references for alumni.
Adjustments may also be made based on the usage of the text (i.e. social media or print piece). However, the core voice/tone remains, with the aim of making SEU feel friendly and approachable — not distant or unreachable.
