缅北禁地

缅北禁地 has rolled out a new, comprehensive campus calendar on its website, meredith.edu. The calendar is a significant improvement from the previous iteration with the addition of visuals, a robust search function, a rotating 鈥渇eatured event,鈥� and more.

The calendar upgrade was an area of emphasis by Meredith鈥檚 new President, Aimee Sapp, who wanted to highlight the numerous and varied activities taking place on campus.

Vice President for Marketing and Communications Kristi Eaves-McLennan said the new calendar is a welcome addition to the College website.

鈥淲e鈥檝e had a campus calendar for years, but it was never fully adopted by our community because it didn鈥檛 really reflect all that was happening on campus,鈥� said Eaves-McLennan. 鈥淭his time it feels like we鈥檝e found the secret sauce that鈥檚 allowing us to provide a fuller picture of our community 鈥� and I only expect it to get better as more people come to rely on it, both to find out what鈥檚 happening on campus and to help promote events.鈥�

A Community Effort 鈥� and Asset

Website visitors can access the calendar using QuickLinks in the top navigation; events are also shown on the website鈥檚 homepage. Website analytics show that users can find the calendar easily and explore future events.

Event listings for the calendar come from faculty, staff, and students across campus. Most are submitted using the on MyMeredith, the College鈥檚 intranet. Calendar Submission Guidelines are included on the form so that community members can determine whether their event is appropriate for the calendar. According to the guidelines, events submitted to the calendar should be sponsored by a school, department, program, etc.聽and be open to members of our campus community and the public.

Diane Burke, office manager for the Department of Marketing, maintains the calendar with support from members of the Marketing team. She draws on her connections across campus, reaching out to colleagues monthly to request submissions, and takes the initiative to input athletic meets and other events she hears about. According to Burke, the response to the new calendar has been extremely positive.

鈥淎dding the photos has made it much more inviting,鈥� she said. 鈥淵ou can see at a glance that we have a lot of things happening on campus.鈥�
