Digital Military Badges
For your email signature.
Military-connected faculty, staff, and students are on every Virginia campus, but too often, we don’t know we’re there. This Digital Badge is a first step toward changing that. Add it to your email signature and let others know you’re part of this community.
When we find each other, real connection follows.
Who This Is For:
This Digital Badge is available to any faculty, staff, or student at a higher education institution who identifies as military-connected:
- Active Duty, Reserve, or National Guard service members
- Veterans of any branch of the U.S. military
- ROTC cadets
- Military spouses and family members
This program operates on the honor of your service and your story. If military life is part of who you are, this badge is for you.
How It Works:
- Complete a short form. Tell us your name, institution, role, and military affiliation. No documentation required.
- Receive your badge by email. You’ll get a badge sized and ready for your email signature, website profile, or anywhere else you want to display it.
- Add it to your signature. Simple installation instructions are included for Gmail, Outlook, and Apple Mail.
- Be part of something larger. Your badge is more than an image. It’s an open door for military-connected colleagues and students to find you, reach out, and know they are among their own.
Get Your Badge:
Note: Badge options for your branch will appear after you select your military affiliation.
