Formatting Your Email Signature

Please include your First/Last name and terminal degree, your UB in-house title(s) and your department/division/office area, if applicable. If you hold additional professional titles, include them in the first area of your signature.

Then list your address, phone numbers and UB email address. 

Use Hyperlinks

When you include hyperlinks in your signature, every email you send becomes an opportunity for your contacts to visit web pages that contain rich information. So, be sure to include a line that says ‘School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences’ in your signature and within your First/Last Name also link to your individual SPPS Web Directory Profile.

If you include additional professional titles in your signature, include links to affiliated websites/webpages. For example, if you direct a residency, fellowship or other program, link to the program’s webpage if possible. This offers your contacts the chance to learn more about our training opportunities.

Maintain Professionalism

Your email signature is an element of your professional profile and helps brand the school and its programs. To ensure that your signature is used appropriately and professionally:

  • Use Calibri 11-point font.
  • Avoid nonstandard, ornamental/script fonts.
  • Place degrees and certifications directly after your name.
  • Exclude links to personal pages that do not represent your work with, or at the university.
  • Exclude personal quotations, philosophical statements, social media links and/or other images.
  • Only use your UB email account for email communications related to your UB SPPS position/appointment.  See UB Email Policy
