Is anyone Using Gmail for Student Email?

Submitted by mperna on Mon, 05/12/2008 - 8:10am.

Does anyone use Gmail’s educational offer for free
email and Google apps to students?

 

If so:

 

  1. What type of email system did
    you run prior? And are you still running it for staff and faculty?
  2. How long have you had Gmail
    incorporated into your Email production environment?
  3. Do you find support helpful?
  4. How was the migration to Gmail?
  5. What has been the
    student’s reaction to Gmail?

 

If anyone has any horror stories or fantastic experiences
that would be great to hear about as well.

 

Thank you in advance for all your answers and help,

These are the only accounts that we did not outsource to google. The
students who work in the clinics have google apps accounts for their
school email account. However, we also created generic clinic accounts
that are housed on our internal exchange email system. They use these
accounts for all clinic related activities.

I have an additional question for those law schools that have
out-sourced email to Google or to Microsoft.

How have you dealt with privacy and/or e-discovery concerns for those
students in clinics dealing with real clients and real legal issues
while using an email service outside of the University's control?
