Will my email address change?

No.  Your email will continue to be of the format username@clarkson.edu.

Will my old email, calendar, and contacts be migrated to Gmail from Exchange?

Yes, any data stored on the Exchange server will be automatically migrated for you by OIT staff.  If you have offline archives (.pst files) that you would like to have migrated, please open a support request with the IT HelpDesk and we will be happy to assist you in importing this data into Gmail.
