Is D2L Brightspace integrated with PCC's Gmail?

Yes.

As of May 29, 2018, Pima Community College integrated D2L Brightspace email with Pima Community College Gmail. Instead of two separate email systems there is only one full email system from which students, faculty, and staff can email outside of D2L Brightspace.  This full email system provides users with an email account that they can use to send and receive emails to both internal and external contacts. The system automatically populates their address books with contacts from the courses they are enrolled in. Users might be allowed to add contacts of their own to the address book.
