Email Signature

To create your email signature, a good starting point is to copy and paste your generated signature into Gmail from the box below. To maintain formatting, do not use a keyboard shortcut to paste. Be sure to select the clipboard icon and choose "keep source formatting" when pasting. The line spacing is correct once placed into the signature field.

You may want to add a P.S. under your signature, such as one of the following:

I am proud to work at a university that inspires students to think, care, create, and pursue justice. | pacificu.edu

Go Boxers! | pacificu.edu

NOTES & OPTIONS

  • Verify that the signature is using Verdana, the recommended font choice for emails
  • Follow Pacific’s editorial standards for professional communications
  • Include your office/department specific information to your signature as needed
  • Using pronouns in your email signature offers a way to share gender identity
  • The pacificu.edu URL does not need an http or www prefix
  • There’s no need to include a 1- before the phone number
  • Be sure that all phone numbers are numeric only and that you use hyphens, rather than periods, between numbers
  • Don't use backgrounds or highlight text as they render the message inaccessible for people with visual disabilities
  • Don't use the logo or other artwork in your signature since most recipients receive them as attachments rather than as a viewable file as intended.

Instructions on how to add your signature to Gmail
Log into your Boxer Mail web interface. Go to the gear icon in the upper right and choose See all settings. Under the General tab, scroll down to the Signature section. Click Create new and give it a name like "Pacific standard." Paste your signature text into the empty box to the right of the signature name.
