University Affairs recently unveiled a Mizzou Identity Standards website. This website lists the “rules” regarding communicating about the University of Missouri.
Here is one of the most important takeaways from the website:
“We are the University of Missouri. We are MU. We are Mizzou.”
This means that we are not the University of Missouri-Columbia, and we are not UMC. This change was made several years ago in all official communication (except for some legal documents) including our letterhead and business cards.
There is a lot more information on this website including MU editorial guidelines and rules about the MU logo.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
