Signatures

Summary

  • End all official University letters with the approved signature format.
  • Do not list personal social media accounts in University signatures.

Letterhead

If the University letterhead you are using has the same address and phone number where you can be reached, use this signature format to end your letters:

Your Name
Pronouns: he/him/his; she/her/hers; they/they/them
Your Title, College/Department/School/Office Name
emailname@ohio.edu

Departmental or Unit Tagline (e.g., The best student-centered learning experience in America, You make the difference, Great stories start here, Create for Good—check with your campus communicator.)

 

If your office and telephone number are different from what is printed on the letterhead, use this signature format:

Your Name
Pronouns: he/him/his; she/her/hers; they/they/them
Your Title, College/Department/School/Office Name
Building Name w/Room number after
1 Ohio University Drive
Athens OH 45701-2979

T: 740.000.0000
F: 740.000.0000
emailname@ohio.edu

Departmental or Unit Tagline

 

If you wish to include your college/department/school/office social media address, list it on its own line below your email address, omitting the http:// part of the URL:

www.twitter.com/yourschool
www.facebook.com/yourprogram
 

NEVER list personal social media accounts.

Secondary References

In some situations, you may need to add the name of a unit or department to the University signature logo. These secondary references are placed under the logotype of the University signature logo.

Make this space equal to the width of the "I" in the signature logo type.

Only the following academic and administrative units have been approved for second-line reference use in the Ohio University identity system. If your unit does not appear on this list, contact University Communications and Marketing for assistance.
