New Services For A New Year »
VCU Technology Services rolled out a number of new services this fall that provide their own unique set of benefits but in the aggregate they promote ease of use, better access to information, more ways to access resources, and creates a safe online environment for the VCU community. Let's take a look at each of these services.
myVCUmail
The myVCUmail service debuted this past summer for all new incoming students. Returning students are now being migrated to the new service. This new service, powered by Google Apps for Education, provides students with an easy to understand, web-based interface with more than 7 GB's of storage. The former service provided students with just 100 MB's of storage. myVCUmail also gives students access to Google's easy to use collaborative tools such as Docs, Talk, and Calendar. Besides better service, VCU will enjoy cost savings on hardware, software, and staff effort to support student e-mail. We expect the future to be bright for this service as Google continues to develop for the Google Apps platform.
