Email Signatures

When using your CGU email account, you are representing the university. It is important to present yourself in a professional manner while being consistent with CGU’s brand. Please refer to CGU’s official style guide.

The approved email signature for CGU employees is shown below in the signature template. The type used is Calibri, Regular (Bold for your name only), 11 point, black only (except for your linked email address and the red, circle flame in the logo). To be consistent with our brand, there are no punctuations in degrees (PhD, MBA, etc), and phone numbers contain dashes (no periods or parentheses). The CGU address in the template is the official mailing address. Do not change the address. Please hyperlink your email address.

Other than the CGU logo, please do not add images (e.g., png, jpg, gif) in your email signature. Do not resize the CGU logo. Also, please refrain from using quotes or epigrams that reflect your personal views. These may not represent the official position of CGU and may be misconstrued as CGU’s brand.

Please copy the following signature template:
