Departmental Email Account

What is this Service? 

A departmental email account (or shared mailbox) allows a group of people to monitor and send email from a single email address. Messages sent from a departmental account appear to come from the departmental email address rather than from an individual’s primary email address (e.g., info@temple.edu vs.john.doe@temple.edu).

Who is Eligible to use it?
