Google Groups
Google Groups makes it easy for groups of people - such as project teams, departments, or classmates - to communicate and collaborate over topics of common interest. Request a Google Group for easy group email distribution.
About Google Groups
Allow group members or campus community to easily communicate with members of a group through the group email address.
Organize meetings or share documents among members of a group by inviting/sharing with the group email address (event guests automatically update when group membership changes!)
Hold online discussions about a specific subject, host a question and answer forum, or track and manage requests from customers or co-workers (as a Collaborative Inbox).
Faculty or staff can request a group* and will need
- Email addresses and SOLAR IDs for at least 2 people who will be admins for the group
- A name of 2-30 characters for your group; the name will be the first part of the email address (ex: Department_MailboxName of Department_MailboxName@stonybrook.edu)
- The purpose of the Google Group
*Google Groups can only be created for faculty, staff, or officially approved student organizations.
