Google Groups

Overview

Google Groups lets you collaborate with teammates, set up meetings, and manage group discussions using a single group email address. The group owner(s) decides who can send and receive messages on the group. Groups can be set up for one-way communication (Announcement Only).

Williams College now uses Google Groups for ALL new email list requests.

Requesting a new Google Group

When filling out the form, please read through the Help (?) sections carefully while selecting from a variety of options that will determine your group's settings. Your request may take a few days to process, you’ll be notified via email when your Google Group is set up. 

Students:

Students requesting a Google Group must be affiliated with a Registered Student Organization. The listing of current RSOs/groups can be found here.

If you are a Student Group that is not an RSO please contact Campus Life for assistance.

If you need modifications made to an existing Google Group please fill out the request form.
