How to Create a Standard Google Group/Email Alias

If you need an email address for a group or a special event, you can set this up yourself.  There are 2 basic options:  a “private” group or a “public” group.  If you want an email address that the “public” can send messages to, you will need to create a group that the “public” can post to.  If you just want to communicate with only a select group of people, you will set up a “private” group.

Either group that you set up will have an email address with this protocol:  username-grp@harding.edu.  The “-grp” will be appended to the name of your group.  So if you are setting it up so people can send a message to the group, be aware that the name will be username-grp@harding.edu.  If you just need an email “alias” – an address for people to send messages to – create the group as private.  You can have the messages delivered to several people or just one person.
