@Rochester.edu Pages
What is "@Rochester.edu"?
@Rochester.edu is an initiative at the University to provide everyone consistent email addresses, based on your name (e.g. firstname.lastname@rochester.edu). All University faculty, staff, and students are able to select an email alias that points to their "real" email mailbox.

Who can use it?
