ISU assigns all students an ISU Gmail address (yourname@isu.edu) upon admission to the University. The College of Pharmacy (and all ISU offices) will use your ISU Gmail address, only, to communicate with you for official business throughout your time in the PharmD Program at Idaho State University.
PharmD student pharmacists often add a professional email signature to the bottom of their messages. To do so, go to your ISU Gmail account and click the gear icon in the top right corner, then 'See all settings' and scroll down to 'Signature' to enter your information. There is also an online email signature generator that will include the ISU wordmark at the bottom of your signature.
Here is one sample template:
