UA Little Rock letterhead template for download

Note: Information should include” height=”870″ University of Arkansas at Little Rock” with the address, a phone contact, and the UA Little Rock URL. Departments may include their college on the line next to the university name, separated by an interpoint. Do not use more than three lines.

University Badges

The university prefers is that faculty and staff use a name badge for his, her or their name along with campus affiliation  (either by department or college or both, if room allows). See the example below.
Example of UA Little Rock name badge design.
Note: There is a two-line limit for affiliation information, with a 40-character limit per line to maintain readability. Use full names for college, office, and department names. Please do not use abbreviations or acronyms.

There may be times when the use of a title makes sense. For example, we wouldn’t have Christina Drale, Office of the Chancellor. We’d just have Christina Drale, Chancellor. If it fits within the template, a person may sacrifice listing his, her or their affiliation (college/department) and use the title instead.
