California Community Colleges - Style Guide
March 2011
Serving 112 California community colleges gives the Chancellor’s Office a very visible and
responsible presence; we are the official voice for higher education to many audiences. All of us
strive to inspire our readers by providing information about the critical role community colleges
play in California’s future. As such, it is important to serve the goal of effective communication in
a common voice and with consistent visual branding.
The Office of Communications created the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office
Style Guide as a reference for all who write and edit documents for our external audiences.
