There’s always plenty to do at Union, and now it should be easier than ever to learn about events and activities.
The Office of Communications has introduced a new central online calendar, designed to be a one-stop resource for the campus community and a user-friendly way to highlight the wide array of activities – from academic to recreational – going on throughout the year.
The new calendar is available at calendar.union.edu and currently feeds the latest 10 events into the OnCampus gateway.
Among the features:
· view and search events by different categories
· see events and deadlines by day, week or month
· download events to your personal calendar
· subscribe to events in a particular category of interest
· view Athletics events, which now feed automatically from the Athletics calendar
And, using the “submit event” form, anyone on campus can easily add their information.
“This is a great tool,” said Jill Hungsberg, senior director of Marketing and Communications. “Now that we’ve consolidated all campus calendars into this single source, we hope it will reduce our community’s reliance on broadcast e-mail as a major means of publicizing events.”
Jason Slater, Web manager, spearheaded the calendar project, which included months of research, evaluating vendors and overseeing the technical implementation and launch.
