titles of events

titles of people

The general rule is to only capitalize a person’s title when you list it before the person’s name. When the title comes after the name (preferred), the title should be lowercase.  If the title includes an organizational unit, that portion is capitalized; a function is not capitalized.
Dean Kathy Cole or Dr. Kathy Cole, dean of the College of Business or Gina Bowman, director of media relations.

Treat words like "the" and "magazine" as part of the title (capping, italicizing, including in quotes, as appropriate) only when so treated by the publication in question; check the masthead to be sure.

Italicize:

  • play and film titles
  • television or radio series titles
