G Suite Transition – Adding Gmail to your Mobile Device

Posted on by

It is now easier to access your email and calendar on mobile with your staff Gmail account! You can add your email address to the mail app your device has, or download the Gmail app on Android or iOS (iPhone).

If you have a personal Gmail account or have used Gmail before, accessing your GRCC Google Account will be the same process.

Add your staff Gmail account on your mobile device using its mail application:

  1. Navigate to the settings of your device.
  2. Locate the accounts section.
  3. Add a new account.
  4. When prompted, choose Google for the account type, and sign in.

For specific information for your device, see Google Support’s articles for signing in on Android and iOS (iPhone).

It is important to keep in mind that since your email is a college account, your device will be subject to a few mobile device management permissions.

If you have any questions about the transition to Gmail, please contact our Google Guides at googleguides@grcc.edu.

Earn professional development hours through community outreach with InteGReat CC

Posted on by

Graphic for the 2019 Leadership Institute. The text reads: "InteGREAT CC."

Grand Rapids Community College supports the United Way through many different activities. As a College, we “donate” hours of support through the Loaned Executive Program and through participation on various agency boards. As individuals, we financially support agencies through our payroll deduction giving. The 2018 Leadership Institute cohort has chosen to extend its support and provide an opportunity for College employees to participate in a volunteer event called Operation United.

When?

Volunteer teams will work on-site at the home of a veteran or current service member within Kent County. Opportunities available on Friday, May 17, 2019, from 9 a.m.-1 p.m.

What takes place?

GRCC employees volunteer to “work” a half day shift (4 hours) on this community service activity.

How do I get involved?

College-wide, we will provide opportunities for the first 50 full-time employees to register for this half-day event.

Do I need my supervisor’s approval?

Yes, employees who would like to volunteer must ask their supervisor for approval. To obtain approval, you are required to complete a Leave of Absence form which can be found on the Human Resources page.

Can I earn Professional Development for volunteering?

Yes, employees who would like to receive up to four hours of professional development credit for this community service simply need to request this in the “Tracking Professional Development Hours for Staff” section of the Leave of Absence Application, and indicate they type of leave being “Conference.”

Pay and Benefits?

Yes, you will work at your regular GRCC job for a half day and work at the United Way activity for a half day (and be paid your regular daily hours).The additional “benefits” you receive are knowing how much you can make a difference in our community and through the United Way organization!

How do I volunteer?

Review information about the service activity, and register online by the May 3, 2019, deadline.

Thanks for caring!
