For references in running text to uniform resource locaters (URLs) such as websites and online resources, follow the conventions outlined in the Chicago Manual (8.186). Use of shortened versions of URLs (Rochester.edu, for example) is acceptable when the text is clear that a website is being referred to. For sites that include “www” in their addresses, it’s unnecessary to include the initial “http://” as an indicator of an online address. If a site does not include “www” in its address, it’s often advisable to include “http://” to make the URL clear.

Sarah C. Mangelsdorf became the University’s 11th president on July 1, 2019. As president, she holds the title of G. Robert Witmer, Jr. University Professor.

She is also a full professor in the Department of Psychology.

For most editorial purposes, on first reference, refer to her as University President Sarah Mangelsdorf. As in the case with faculty members, on subsequent references, use her surname without an honorific title.

University President Sarah Mangelsdorf opened the session with introductory remarks. . . . In her talk, Mangelsdorf said . . . .

References such as “President Mangelsdorf” may be used in referring to her, particularly in quoted materials, depending on the context, tone, and purpose in using the honorific.

Do not use abbreviations when referring to the president’s title.

In formal settings such as programs for institutional events, legal documents, institutional and academic memoranda, and other materials in which the president is formally representing the institution, use her complete name, including middle initial. The full title of the Witmer Professorship should also be cited in such uses.

Use “the Ģý” on first reference, especially in communications intended for external audiences or in materials where the reference needs to be clear or consistent with references to other organizations. Include the article “the” in running copy but note that it is not part of the University’s official name and is not capitalized unless it falls at the beginning of a sentence.

On second and subsequent references and in context where the full name is present in the logo or otherwise written out, Ģý is acceptable.

For readability and flow, “the University” can be alternated with Ģý on third and subsequent references in long-form storytelling for some audiences, such as alumni.

Avoid “U of R,” “UR,” and “U of Rochester,” except in informal presentations, quoted material, social media, or where the use has been sanctioned.
