What’s happening? Purdue University is introducing a more robust, fully branded electronic central calendar that streamlines the West Lafayette campus’ public events and allows the University community and the general public to customize their personal scheduling and event planning.
The Purdue University Events Calendar, officially launching Monday (Aug. 8), also incorporates events beyond the Purdue campus, including public activities from across Greater Lafayette, providing a helpful tool for promoting and socializing those events. Purdue Athletics events have been folded into the calendar, too.
“Our dynamic new Purdue University Events Calendar offers an abundance of features that will help our campus community organize and promote events while presenting them in a fresh, more meaningful way. This looks to become a one-stop shopping hub for all events Purdue,” said Brian York, lead project manager for Purdue Information Technology at Purdue (ITaP).
Events currently are coming from Student Activities and Organizations, Purdue Convocations, Intercollegiate Athletics, Purdue Marketing and Communications, Krannert and the Academic Calendar. Other areas will be onboarded into the Purdue calendar throughout the fall.
Powered by a software platform developed by Localist, the Purdue calendar integrates social media, registration, a bright new look and an easy-to-use interface, while letting event planners promote and share activities and programming. In addition to Purdue faculty and staff, community members can subscribe and receive personal reminder notifications about interested events.
At the easy-to-memorize events.purdue.edu, the new campus calendar lets users create their own events experience and to build a personal “My Calendar” dashboard for setting preferences on specific types of events and centering on trending and upcoming happenings. They can build an Events Widget that will enable users to promote events by displaying them on any webpage.
The site features a tool to filter events in specific categories such as date, whether it’s an in-person or virtual experience, event type, topic and targeted audience such as general public, students, faculty and staff, alumni and/or student families.
Through these dynamic features, users can follow their college, department, student organization or even specific buildings and event venues.
Additionally, the new calendar provides a powerful tagging and search optimization feature, making it easier than ever to find events and dates relevant to individual interests and experience on campus.
“We find community in the everyday activities on our campus and throughout Greater Lafayette. And this new Purdue calendar will help users curate their own events and stay abreast of events that interest them most,” York said.
A committee led by Purdue Marketing and Communications has been working the past three months to develop and design the new events calendar. The group included representatives from Convocations, Student Life, Athletics, Marketing and Communications, Purdue for Life Foundation, ITaP and other units on campus.
By creating an account through Boiler Key protocols, users can upload and submit events to the Purdue campus calendar. A user must be logged in to click on the submit event button. Submissions must be approved by an event administrator.
