Our preferred forms for first and second references to WSU Spokane and other WSU entities in Spokane.
Campus—the long and short of it
Full name:
Washington State University Spokane
Preferred second reference:
WSU Spokane (no punctuation)
Abbreviation:
If you need an abbreviation for headlines or TV chyrons, WSU Spokane is appropriate. WSUS is not.
Why we care:
A reference to “Washington State University” is most appropriately used for the Pullman campus. When you leave “Spokane” out of our campus name, you miss the chance to connect your audience with the faculty, staff, students, and programs located in Spokane.
