Gmail Address Creation and Use
The San Jose State University Research Foundation operates under one standardized email format for all its employees in alignment with the San Jose State University. The purpose of using this standardized email format is to ensure that we have one specific method of conveying all Research Foundation related communications or emergency information in an efficient manner.
