How to reference Missouri S&T

Missouri S&T

The abbreviated university name should be used in official communications to outside audiences or on first reference to familiar audiences (alumni, current students, faculty, staff).

Missouri University of Science and Technology

The full formal name of the university may be used on first reference in formal, official communications and marketing materials, but should not be used on second and subsequent references. Note: The "and" is always spelled out. Do not substitute the ampersand (&).

S&T

This shortened version of the abbreviated name is acceptable for use in headlines, photo captions and other tight spots. It is also acceptable in writing about Missouri S&T athletics or occasionally in marketing materials.

MST/mst

Acceptable only in web and email addresses in lowercase (mst.edu) and for use in forms on computerized applications in all capital letters that limit the number of characters, such as PeopleSoft.

The Missouri S&T logo should be used on all Missouri S&T marketing materials. This includes all publications like business cards, letterhead, brochures, newsletters, admissions publications, recruitment materials, summer program publications, videos, websites and other materials.

Use of other logos or graphic marks to represent Missouri S&T or its academic or administrative units (e.g., a departmental, research center or other unit logo) is not permitted.

The campus logos must remain as originally drawn and proportioned, and cannot be modified or altered in any way. The text is a graphic element, not a typeface. Do not use the logo or any part of it in a sentence.

How and where to use the Joe Miner graphic

Joe Miner is to be used to promote intercollegiate athletics and Missouri S&T’s sports programs in general. Recognized student organizations, student design teams and the Miner Alumni Association also use the Joe Miner image. The image is also used with some student recruitment materials. The image provides entertainment value, as well as high visibility in the community, and fosters a sense of pride among alumni, students and other audiences.

Academic and administrative units should not use Joe Miner in their graphic identities because of the image’s close association with Missouri S&T sports, student activities, alumni activities and student recruitment activities.

Altering the image of any Joe Miner graphic is prohibited. Altered images of the Joe Miner graphic should not be used in any Missouri S&T materials, including brochures, newsletters, websites and letterhead.

The mascot is never to be reproduced, modified or used in such a way as to compromise Missouri S&T’s reputation and educational standards. Such use could result in formal or legal action against the offending individual(s) by Missouri S&T.
