Upcoming changes to the university events calendar

# Something big is happening to the university Events Calendar.

A little bit ago Rob Vrabel mentioned we were working on the events calendar (opens new window) and I would like to confirm that we are and we have some great things in store.

We will be running down all the new features in detail closer to launch but here are just a few things to look forward to:

  • Completely new interface
  • Better listing and search for events by interests and audiences
  • Upcoming Deadlines and Reminders are broken out from main calendar
  • Images now supported for event promotion
  • Image and video gallery available for every event
  • RSVP's to be created and managed by anyone
  • Ability to show interest or say you are attending an event even if there is no RSVP
  • Calendars will be better organized in the left menu
  • Featured event promotion
  • Addresses for location of off campus event
  • Subscribe by RSS to a category or audience
  • Email subscription for upcoming featured events each week
