A standardized block of text appended to the end of electronic correspondence by individuals enrolled in higher education institutions serves as a digital calling card. This typically includes the student’s full name, program of study, expected graduation date, and contact information. For instance, a student’s concluding message section might display “Jane Doe, Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, Expected Graduation: May 2025, jane.doe@university.edu.”
Employing this practice offers numerous advantages. It presents a professional image to faculty, staff, and potential employers. Providing relevant academic details clarifies the student’s role and context within the university. Consistent application aids in efficient communication and strengthens institutional branding. Historically, such conventions were less prevalent with informal digital communication, but the need for clear identification in a professional context has driven their adoption.
