Thursday the raffle continues, with a table of shirts and potentially free food on Centennial Campus at the College of Textiles plaza, 12-2pm.
Friday, look out for free food and *cookies* for those who have donated at a table on Centennial near EBII from 12-2pm. Your last chance to share your NC State love and enter the raffle!

This week, we’re calling seniors with another opportunity to “Leave Your Mark”. If you get a phone call from an NC State number, pick it up and make your pledge to the Senior Class Gift.

It’s Official, NC State is getting Gmail.
The Office of Information Technology (OIT) is pleased to announce that NC State University successfully negotiated an agreement with Google Inc. that will enable us to provide improved e-mail and other hosted services for students through the free Google Apps Education Edition™ program. This action was recommended by the Student E-mail Task Force in their March 2009 report.
Outsourcing e-mail is a growing trend in higher education because it enables universities to improve technology services for students while reducing costs. The Google Apps Gmail services will give NC State students more than 7 gigabytes of storage per account, something they have been requesting for years but the university has been unable to afford to provide. Based on the current level of student e-mail services, the Student E-mail Task Force estimated that outsourcing student e-mail would save the university an anticipated $60,000 per year. In addition to e-mail, Google Apps Education Edition™ offers a suite of popular communication and collaboration applications designed for schools and universities.
OIT has formed a Google Apps @ NC State Implementation Team to plan the rollout of the new services. While e-mail and related services (calendaring, online document sharing, etc.) will be provided by Google, students will retain their official @ncsu.edu address. We expect to launch a student beta e-mail service by mid semester this spring and are encouraging students to request an invitation to participate by visiting NC State’s Google Web site: http://google.ncsu.edu. The production service will be rolled out over the coming year.
More information about NC State’s implementation of Google Apps Education Edition™ is also available at http://google.ncsu.edu.
