Abstract | Anecdotes about messages college presidents send to constituencies illustrate that language is powerful in conveying institutional values and expectations. Suggestions for using language more persuasively include (1) using terms that include rather than exclude and being sensitive to groups' preferred terminology; (2) avoiding inaccurate or misleading statements; and (3) using metaphors to evoke feeling.
