Departmental Mail Lists

Google Groups

In Google, groups serve both as mail lists and for giving permissions. Many of the standard department mail lists are handled via Google groups now, e.g., faculty, staff, and grads. These are system-wide groups that everyone can see, but it is also possible for users to make their own groups. For more information on Google Groups, see the Google Groups help article.

Office 365 Groups

The UNC Office 365 service also offers groups. These groups are a good choice for lists with Onyen members. This is also the preferred option when working with other Office 365 applications. For more information on Office 365 groups, please see this ITS help page.
