Description

Google provides CNU’s e-mail and calendar and other tools through Google Workspaces for Education. While you may know the basics of how to use these tooIs, there are several things you can do to make your e-mail and calendar experience better.  In this session, we examine the advanced features of two of the most popular applications in G-suite--Gmail and Calendar--and walk through methods faculty and staff can utilize to use those features more effectively.
