Dawson College 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 Dawson’s new brand is by adopting the new official Dawson College email signature.
Much thought has been put into its design and functionality. It was delivered to Dawson 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 Dawson College email signature.
To make the change to your signature, go to the My Dawson Portal (Omnivox) 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 Dawson's Help Desk at helpdesk@dawsoncollege.qc.ca
