Online calendar offers wealth of events

• Online events Calendar

Music, theater, dance, lectures, sports, forums or festivals – there’s something for everyone at CSUS.

And all the activities add to the campus’ vibrant educational environment. Where can you find out the who, what, where and when? The CSUS Events Calendar at www.csus.edu/events. It’s the dynamic, regularly updated listing of public events at CSUS offered by public affairs, the one online stop to find out all the info

The calendar presents a listing of public events at the University in an easy-to-read, searchable format. Visitors first see a listing of activities for the current month. Scrolling down the pages reveals events as they are scheduled daily. Most listings start with a keyword, like lecture, dance or athletics, providing a quick way to scan for popular activities. Options to view just the day’s events, search all listings or see other campus calendars are offered.

Another feature of the calendar is links to additional information. Clicking on the highlighted “details” found in many listings takes viewers to press releases, additional photos, expanded schedules and other information. Listings for ticketed events include contact information for the CSUS Ticket office and a link to Tickets.com, the Internet source for CSUS event tickets. The calendar also offers the opportunity to receive Newslink, the University’s email newsletter. Frequent contests for free tickets are also posted.

Letting public affairs know about events is the key to this vital link between the University and community. All University activities, on or off campus, that have appeal to the general public are considered for inclusion.

To submit an event to be considered for the calendar, contact the public affairs office at 278-5085 or submit it online at www.csus.edu/news/sendnews.html.
