Can ANGEL be used for research teams or student groups?
Angel groups can be used for collaborative purposes that are based in research.
Yeshiva University Faculty can create these groups. If there are faculty among those that will be participating in the group, one of those persons should create the group. The Group Administration can always be delegated to others beyond the creator. Otherwise, it is suggested that you seek a sponsoring faculty that is loosely associated with your group to create the group on behalf of those that will be participating.
