In order to support collaboration with Cornell students and colleagues at other institutions, Google Workspace accounts – which include Google's email, calendar, and collaboration services – are available for faculty and staff. This service was previously called G Suite. 

Activating a Google Workspace account is optional.  

See Google's Workspace Learning Center for a quick overview of the features. 

Google Workspace's features include:

• Gmail - email, built-in instant messaging including voice and video chat, mobile access, spam and virus protection
• Google Calendar - multiple calendars and room/resource scheduling NOT integrated with Cornell rooms and resources
• Google Docs - word processing, spreadsheets, forms, and presentations
• Google Drive - file storage and sharing

• Google Sites - website creation with videos, images, gadgets, and documents integration

  New Google sites cannot be created at this time.

• Google Chat - chat with a colleague or group

  Cornell does not offer technical support for Google Chat. Microsoft Teams is the supported chat option for faculty and staff.
