ÆßÐDzʿª½± has invested in a new refreshed brand for the College. The full impact of a brand is achieved through consistent and appropriate usage in line with the Brand Guidelines.
One of the ways we can all participate in the implementation of ÆßÐDzʿª½±â€™s new brand is by adopting the new official ÆßÐDzʿª½± email signature.
Much thought has been put into its design and functionality. It was delivered to ÆßÐDzʿª½± by the marketing company that did the branding project and was thoroughly tested by our in-house IT Solutions Team.
The official email signature is meant to be used as is. We ask that you do not re-arrange the elements, change the font or create your own version of the ÆßÐDzʿª½± email signature.
To make the change to your signature, go to the and find the the Branded Email Signature item under Non-Academic Services. There you will instructions and templates related to the way you access Outlook.
If you experience any issues, please contact ÆßÐDzʿª½±'s Help Desk at helpdesk@dawsoncollege.qc.ca
