Content Style Guide

The APPM is a great reference guide for anyone within the university when they are interested in beginning a new social page! Typically, this document will be forwarded to anyone who informs the Social Media Specialist that they plan to create a new social account. Here, they will learn the rules designated to university accounts and see where they can shape their account/content based on the guidelines.
