New features for West Campus Faculty and Staff Google Accounts this March, providing commonly requested functions

Over the years, many have asked for ways to expand Google tools - for email merge, smarter notifications in Sheets, and more. We are glad to say that we’ve expanded West Campus, School of Nursing, School of Social Welfare & School of Health Professions Faculty and Staff Google Workspace Accounts to Education Plus, giving access to these requested features and many more.

NOTE:  This morning, licenses were applied to all Faculty & Staff who are NOT Stony Brook Medicine employees.  You should have access to everything listed below by 3pm, Thursday, March 13th 2025
