Business card templates are available via MOO, a leading provider of quality business stationery. A number of layouts are available to meet a range of information needs, and cards are available in a variety of UC Santa Barbara colors for added impact. Please note that in order to place an order through MOO, graduate students must arrange to come by the Graduate Student Resource Center to use secure login credentials and are responsible for paying for business cards orders. To schedule a time to place your order, please email gsrc@graddiv.ucsb.edu. To preview instructions for this process and see available options, click here.
Websites
Although graduate students do not yet have access to pre-made website templates, you can use the resources on the Brand website (including web fonts and branded colors) to customize a theme on your favorite web-hosting platform.
Email for Life
Every graduate student receives an @ucsb email address upon entry into their program, which will remain available beyond your time of affiliation with UCSB as long as you continue to use it. You can also create branded email signatures using this generator tool.
High-Quality Digital Images
The UC Santa Barbara Digital Asset Library is curated by the Office of Public Affairs & Communications, and assets are free of charge for staff & faculty members.
