Get all email addresses of user using Google API

For my own gmail account, I have multiple email addresses associated with it. For example, I have an email address from my university that is associated with my gmail, and I can send emails from my gmail as if they are coming from my university email address.

I'm reading up on the Google APIs, and I see that I can get a user's gmail address, but can I also get any other email address that is associated with their gmail account?

When a user logs in to my site, I'd like to present them with a list of the gmail-associated email addresses and let them select the one they would like to use.

EDIT: Thanks everyone for the answers, but I don't think any of them answers the question. I've been playing with Google's OAuth playground. It is strange that I can get lots of very personal information (a list of a user's contacts and even received emails) but I can't get the user's alternative email addresses.

This is possible. However, this has changed since Google announced the deprecation of their Google+ People API, which a lot of folks used to get all the email addresses for a user. The current most voted answer now goes to a 404.

Google Plus People API Replacement

Google has replaced the Google Plus People API /plus/v1/people/me with https://developers.google.com/people/ and you’ll want to use the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/user.emails.read profile scope as discussed here as a replacement. The schema is different, so you'll need to change your mapping as well.

If your app already used the following scopes from the old /plus/v1/people/me your user will not have to re-consent when you switch to the new API:

email
profile
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.login
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.me
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.profile.agerange.read
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.profile.emails.read
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.profile.language.read
