Evergreen hosts student e-mail using Microsoft Exchange, an industry-standard enterprise system.  Although Evergreen has been hosting e-mail services for many years using a variety of systems, in spring of 2007 Evergreen made it the primary communication medium between students and the college. This was the culmination of a two-year project designed to decrease the waste of resources associated with mailing paper to students.
