@u.northwestern.edu Continues to Collaborate
The ultimate student collaboration service, @u.northwestern.edu, has recently expanded to include even more students.
The Graduate School recently jumped on board, and now, all incoming eligible students automatically receive an @u.northwestern.edu account.
New to @u
@u.northwestern.edu Presentations, in accompaniment with Docs and Spreadsheets, is the latest collaboration service to be added. In addition, if you’re in a student group and want to better communicate and share documents with group members, you might want to think about activating an @u.northwestern.edu group account.
You can utilize a group account in several ways:
- Coordinate meetings and post project plans and meeting minutes for Wildcat Philanthropy
- Publicize the Wildcat Residence Hall group's fall activity schedule through the calendar publication page
- Inform Wildcat Fraternity members of the upcoming meeting schedule with one click to your user group
- University departments can advertise co-curricular activities to their students
- Transfer group account ownership while keeping group documents for future access
You can also publicize your group’s events on the @u.northwestern.edu Calendars page.
Think you or someone you know could benefit from a group account? Submit a Group Account Activation Request form.
r u @ u Yet?
Eligible students are still able to take advantage of the service that includes:
- Increased e-mail storage - multiple GB and growing
- Improved service quality with calendaring, instant messaging, and documents, spreadsheet, and presentation applications
