Salve Regina follows Associated Press (AP) style for event titles and descriptions. Please note that these standards and best practices are subject to change without notice.​

Event Title

• The event title should be concise, ideally less than 65 characters long, including spaces. Longer event titles may be truncated with an ellipsis in some calendar views.
• Principal words should be capitalized. Do not capitalize words like "a," "and," "in," "of" or "the" unless they are the first word of the title. Do not use all caps.
• Single quotation marks should be used around the titles of books, plays, magazines, newspapers, TV shows and movies.
• Event titles should not include details like event sponsor. These details should be included in the event description.
• Numbers 0-9 should be written out. Numbers that are 10 or higher should use the figure.
• References to dates or numbers should not include "st," "nd" or "rd" as part of the date or number (do not write April 1st, May 2nd, June 3rd, July 5th).
• Superscript and subscript should be avoided, instead use straight text (7th annual Health Conference).
• Please proofread titles for proper grammar and spelling.

Event Description

Event descriptions should provide a sense of who, what and how. Briefly explain who is speaking or performing and what attendees can expect to see or hear. An event title alone generally won't get people to attend. Provide more details and context to generate interest. List any co-sponsors and note if the event is free and open to the public.

Please proofread descriptions for proper grammar, spelling and style.

Event Title and Description Examples

"Dark Money in American Politics" with Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse

American politics is awash in so-called dark money, swamping elections and tilting the U.S. Supreme Court. In this presentation, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) details the evidence and offers a path to reform that would shine a light on the extent of the influence of big-dollar donors in American public life and curb their power.

Free and open to the public, this event will be held outside on the lawn of Ochre Court. A limited number of seats will be available. Please bring a beach chair and/or blanket for sitting. In the event of inclement weather, this discussion will be held inside Ochre Court.
