    Texas Tech University Office of Communications & Marketing Writers Style Guide A comprehensive guide for content producers in the Office of Communications & Marketing to enhance writing skills and ensure continuity and clarity of message for Texas Tech University. Chief Marketing & Communications Officer: Matt Dewey Guidelines for Writers June 24, 2021 The student body at Texas Tech University is as diverse as it has ever been, with the university recently reaching the enrollment requirement of Hispanic Serving Institution designation thanks to a Hispanic population that totals more than 25 percent of the overall student body. Just as diverse as the student body is every other aspect of Texas Tech, from the colleges and departments of study to the buildings, student organizations and intricate details encompassing every square inch of the campus that makes it such a unique and rewarding place to study and work. As content producers, we are tasked with telling the story of Texas Tech and its people – the faculty, staff, students, research endeavors, community engagement and so on. Doing so requires a great attention to detail, a task that can be daunting given all the various aspects of the university we encounter each day. In order to tell that story in as clear and concise a manner as possible, a clear set of writing style and grammatical guidelines is necessary. The Associated Press Stylebook is an excellent starting point and should be used in most instances, but it does not get into the intricate details of life on the Texas Tech campus. Therefore, it became necessary to develop an enhanced stylebook specifically detailed for Texas Tech.
