GOOGLE APPS FOR EDUCATION
Google Apps for Education is Smith's supported platform for email, contact management, and calendar services.
This page provides links to documentation for Smith Mail, Contacts, and Calendar. Documentation for Google Groups, Docs, and Sites will be added soon.
Important! If you have been using GroupWise to send bulk mail (with or without special formatting and embedded graphics) or mail-merged messages, click here for information about alternative methods recommended by ITS.
