Hyphen or a dash

• Hyphens are joiners. Use them to avoid ambiguity or to form a single idea from two or more words.
  • He recovered the money. He re-covered the leaky roof. 
• Many combinations that are hyphenated before a noun are not hyphenated when they occur after a noun.

• Do not add spaces around em dashes.
  • If you study hard—and truly spend time learning the material—you will pass the test.

• Use a hyphen in compound adjectives that come before the words they modify:
  • full-time student

  • out-of-state tuition
• Full time, full-time
  • Hyphenate only when used as a compound modifier.
    • He works full time.

WORD CHOICE

 

A GUIDE TO BETTER WORD CHOICES

Language is an ever-evolving creation. CC strives to use language that is in line with our institutional values. It is not our goal to be the word police and people can choose to use the words they like. We would, however, like to offer some substitutes for commonly used words and phrases to help create more inclusive spaces. When we know better, we do better.

 

Suggested substitutions:

• Call a spade a spade >> say it like it is
• Crippled >> damaged, weakened, impaired
• Grandfathered in >> legacied
• Lynchpin >> mainstay, anchor
• Master bedroom >> primary bedroom
• Native (when meaning someone who is a lifelong local) >> “lifelong local” or “born and raised in”
• Peanut gallery >> cheap seats
• Sold down the river >> betrayed
• Stakeholder >> collaborator, partner, shareholder
• Trailblazer >> innovator, trendsetter

 

REFERRING TO ALUMNI

• The word “alumni” refers collectively to graduates. “Alums” is more informal but acceptable.
• Use “alum” in reference to an individual. It is also fine to refer to an individual as a graduate. 
• Anyone who completes at least two semesters at CC is considered an alum. 
  • Someone who attended less than two semesters at CC is referred to as a “former student.” Former students are considered members of the class with which they would have graduated if they had stayed.

 

CLASS YEAR

• Class years are used anytime a name is printed. In articles, only use the class year the first time the name appears.
  • Use a forward-facing apostrophe before the class year to indicate the omitted prefix of 19 or 20. 
    • Delaney Grant Kenyon ’23 is an alum of Colorado College.
    • Ken Salazar ’77 is an alum.
    • Delaney Grant Kenyon ’23 and Ken Salazar ’77 are CC alumni.
  • When referring to an alum from 100 years or more before the current first-year class, use the phrase "Class of" and the full year.
    • Robert M. Ormes, Class of 1926, was a CC English professor.
    • The foundation was organized by Mary Tate, Class of 1901.
• When using maiden/given/surname/family names and other name changes:
  • When possible, ask the alum, “How would you like your name to appear?”
  • If this is not possible, and an alum has married and taken their spouse's last name, use their previous last name at the time they were a student first in a list, on nametags, in directories, etc.
    • Diane Brown Benninghoff ’68

 

GENDERED LANGUAGE

• CC’s policy is to avoid language that contains discriminatory connotations.
• Avoid language that denotes age bias, cultural bias, gender bias, racial bias, or sexual orientation bias.
  • Your word choice should not default to a white, cis, hetero, male “norm” unless used in a quote.
• Gender bias:
  • In general, use terms that can apply to any gender. Such language aims to treat people equally and is inclusive of people whose gender identity is not strictly male or female.
  • Replace the following terms with the suggested alternatives:
    • chairman >> chair, chairperson, department chair
    • manmade >> handmade
    • foreman >> supervisor
    • craftsman >> artisan
    • freshman >> first-year student
    • councilman >> councilor or council member
• Since not all people fall under one of two categories for sex or gender—as in the cases of nonbinary and intersex people—avoid references to both, either, or opposite sexes or genders.
• Balance these aims with common sense, respect for the language, and an understanding that gender-neutral or gender-inclusive language is evolving and in some cases is challenging to achieve.

 

ETHNICITY/ORIGIN

• Afghan is the term for the people and culture of Afghanistan. Afghani is the Afghan unit of currency.
• Use the term Hawaii residents—not Hawaiians—for the overall population of Hawaii. Use the term Hawaiian or Hawaiians only for members of the ethnic group indigenous to the Hawaiian Islands. They also may be called Native Hawaiians or Hawaii's Indigenous people. Someone can be Hawaiian even if they weren't born in Hawaii or have never lived in Hawaii.
• Avoid use of the term “third world.” “Developing nations” is more appropriate when referring to the economically developing nations of Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
• Latinx/a/o and Hispanic are not interchangeable words. "Hispanic" generally refers to people with ancestry from Spanish-speaking countries, while "Latino/a/x" refers to people with origins in Latin America, including Brazil and other non-Spanish speaking countries.
• When referring to Native or Indigenous people, use their specific tribe when possible.
  • Ute, Cheyenne, Apache, etc.

 

REFERENCES TO ABORTION

• Use the modifiers “anti-abortion” or “abortion-rights”; don't use “pro-life,” “pro-choice,” or “pro-abortion” unless they are in quotes or proper names.
• Phrasing like “pregnant people” or “people seeking abortions” is also preferred to include people who have those experiences but do not identify as women, such as some transgender men and some nonbinary individuals.

 

REFERENCES TO HOLIDAYS

• Use the term Indigenous Peoples Day. Do not use Columbus Day unless it is part of a quote.

 

RESIDENCE HALLS

• Avoid using "dorm" or "dormitory" when referring to campus student housing.
• Use "residence hall" instead.

 

VOICE AND TONE

 

WHEN TO USE EACH, AND WHY IT MATTERS

Use functional language when clarity and information sharing are the priorities—like in registration instructions, policies, or event details. Use expressive language when you want to inspire, invite, connect, or elicit action—such as in storytelling, invitations, or campaign messaging. Together, they create a balanced voice that reflects Colorado College’s values: thoughtful, intentional, and rooted in both impact and community. Using both effectively ensures communications are not just informative, but also engaging and authentic.

 

Expressive Language
Expressive language conveys emotion, personality, and purpose. It compellingly shares the story behind a program or event, brings people and places to life, and connects audiences to the College’s mission. At Colorado College, expressive language reflects curiosity, creativity, and a deep sense of place—helping audiences feel the “why” behind the work.

 

This style is primarily used in College marketing, executive communications, institutional communications, and storytelling.

 

 

Functional Language
Functional language is straightforward, informational, and action oriented. It’s used to convey logistics like dates, times, policies, or processes in a clear and concise manner. This language helps audiences quickly understand what they need to know or do. At Colorado College, functional language supports accessibility and transparency, making the institution’s resources and opportunities easy to navigate.

 

This style is primarily used in internal communications and public relations.
