Here at Ravenscroft we have included a template for email signatures as
part of our Visual Identity Guide coming out of our Communications
Office. We believe that Ravenscroft, as a brand, should be represented
in both traditional print and electronic print exactly the same way.
Therefore, when sending emails off campus we use the signature below
which has all the requisite parts as outlined in our V.I.G.. Those parts
include name, title, school, address, phone, fax, cell, URL and school
mission (the mission being in Italics when sending in HTML or Rich
Text).
After an initial email has been sent, however, one can shorten the
signature to name and title or remove it altogether as we believe the
signature is most important when contacting someone from the outside for
the very first time and is considered as part of a proper introduction
(which is what you are making when you send emails out on behalf of your
organization).
Hope this helps!

Subject: email signatures
Do any of you have policies with regard to what is and is not
appropriate for email signature lines for students and faculty? We are
checking with our school attorney to find out where the line is drawn
for freedom of speech. Every year we hear from
people who are concerned about political, religious, and controversial
quotes and messages in the signature lines of messages they have
received. I'd love to hear what other schools are doing or not doing! We
provide all of our teachers and students
FirstClass accounts - this relates to the school account and not to
private accounts.
This topic is also posted on the ISEnet ning for discussion.
Thanks - Karen
