Is there a way for a student to send out a group email to all of their fellow course-mates without having to individually select each one?

As a course rep it'd be very helpful to be able to do this.

Good afternoon, @LaurDor3 ...

This Guide shows how a student can send a message to all other students in the same course:

How do I send a message to all course users in the Inbox as a student?

Also, as a side note, keep in mind that Canvas does not have e-mail.  They have a messaging system via the Inbox, but that is not the same as e-mail.  For example, you cannot use the Canvas Inbox to send a message to a family member or friend...because they are most likely not enrolled in the same course.  In the same way, your family member or friend cannot send you an e-mail from his/her e-mail client (e.g. Outlook) and expect that you'll receive that message in the Canvas Inbox.  The Canvas Inbox is used for messaging classmates and instructors who are enrolled in the same course(s) you are.  However, you can set up your own notification settings to alert you via e-mail that you've received a message via the Canvas Inbox.  That information can be found in these Guides:

Sing out if you have any other questions about this...thanks!  Be well.
