MU Master Calendar
What is the University Calendar?
The University Calendar is a web-based schedule of programs and events of interest to the general campus and regional community. This Calendar is designed to be the central location to view “at-a-glance” what is happening at Mansfield University.
Why Should I use the University Calendar?
The University Calendar is designed to assist community members in several ways. First, program planners can review listings on the calendar to aid in selecting dates for events. Planners may determine that certain dates are already crowded with competing events or similar activities being sponsored by others. Second, the calendar provides event support for listed programs. The Office of Campus Technologies reviews entries to develop press releases for faculty, staff and students via the “Daily Digest”. The University Police rely on the calendar to ensure proper security for special events and to direct visitors to the location of listed events. Finally, all community members’ benefit by being informed of the various educational and social opportunities offered at the University.
How Do Events Get Listed on the University Calendar?
Any MU individual or group sponsoring an event of general interest to the campus community may submit the details for inclusion on the University Calendar. To be included in the calendar, the event must be sponsored by the University or an affiliated group and must be of general interest to the community. Preference will be given to listed events that are open to all members of the campus community. University staff reviews submissions for appropriateness before adding them to the calendar. Each college or division will identify a primary contact person for assisting faculty, staff, and students in submitting information to the calendar. This contact person will assist in resolving any questions concerning the posting of events to the calendar from their area.
