Q

Titles

A
  • Don’t use courtesy titles (note: this is the rule, but Seton always uses them).
  • Use Dr. for medical doctors (note: this is the rule, but Seton always recognizes scholastic PhD and PhEd titles).
  • Long titles preferred AFTER the name separated by comma
  • If possible to omit title for brevity, do so.
  • Composition titles are in quote marks. No italics or underlines.
