Note: Here are instructions for creating a signature in Outlook. 

In your preferred email client, create a signature within the following parameters:

• Use Helvetica or Arial for the font. 
  • Why? The campus fonts are proprietary, and may not be readable on all e-mails. Campus encourages the use of universal fonts. 
• Make all the text in your signature 12pt.
• Bold your name at the top and include the following elements: 

Firstname Lastname
[Pronouns optional]
Title
Unit
UC Davis
