When communicating on behalf of the university, it is important to present yourself in a professional manner that is consistent with the university's brand and role as a state institution. Branded email signatures are available for use by university employees. Use the tool below to generate an approved email signature for use in Microsoft Outlook’s desktop client and Office 365. Use a text-only email signature for mobile devices. Other than the university’s logo, do not use images or logos within the email signature. Do not add personal messages, quotes, slogans, or taglines to your professional email signature. While these may reflect your personal views, they may not reflect the official position of the university and may be misinterpreted by recipients as being official university communication.
