Ivey has created a corporate email signature to project a distinct identity and to achieve consistency in our communication. The email signature will include essential information, such as contact details and the University website address.
Staff should not change the font type, size or colour to maintain a uniform signature design and to project a more professional image in our official email correspondences.
Notice for Ivey Students: You may use the following Ivey email signature with either the Ivey or department logo. However, you must indicate that you are a "candidate" on the Title line, immediately below your name.
