What is Live @ Baruch?
The City University of New York (CUNY) has chosen Microsoft’s Windows Live as its new e-mail system for all CUNY students. Once implemented, Windows Live will replace current e-mail accounts such as Baruch's WebMail, becoming students’ official university-business account system. This student e-mail system is based on Microsoft Windows Live Hotmail, the most-used Webmail service in the world, although it is customized and co-branded by each CUNY College. Live @ Baruch provides current students and alumni with a set of communications and collaboration services, such as e-mail, shared calendar, and address book.
