Campus Connection

UW-L has also incorporated a new interactive Web-based master calendar system to centralize information and streamline finding and submitting events. The centralized calendar of events not only provides date, time and location, but also displays a detailed event description, directions to the venue and other important information. To see the calendar, click "more events" on UW-L's home page or visit http://mastercalendar.uwlax.edu/MasterCalendar/. Browsers can filter events by event type or location, do keyword searches, e-mail a friend, add events to personal calendars, access data via RSS feeds, and e-subscribe to calendars for up-to-the-minute alerts on new or changed events.

How to submit events to the calendar

Be sure to make any room reservations prior to submitting an event to the UW-L Campus Calendar. For questions regarding room reservations, call the University Reservations Office at 785.8892. To submit events, go to "Submit Event" on the UW-La Crosse Campus Calendar (see arrow, image right) and follow the instructions for submitting an event to the appropriate calendar. You may submit events to the:

• Arts Calendar (music, theatrical and art gallery events)
• Diversity Calendar (events that include a diversity component)
• University Events Calendar (Campus Activities Board events, career events, lectures and oral defense theses).

The UW-La Crosse Campus Calendar also provides a link to the maintenance calendar (see arrow, above).

How to publicize department and open meetings

The last Campus Connection Calendar is the Oct. 26 issue. For details on how to publicize department meetings and open meetings, go to http://www.uwlax.edu/meetings/. Beginning Nov. 2, the Campus Connection will include a link to meetings instead of publishing its own calendar. Any meeting notices already sent to connectx@uwlax.edu will be included in the new system. Open meetings include search and screen, retention and promotion meetings. For more information on open meetings, visit www.uwlax.edu/HR/recruit/Academic_Recruitment/docs/OPENMEETING.htm. For questions on submitting department and open meetings, contact Bob Hoar, Provost Office, at hoar.robe@uwlax.edu or at 785.8159. For questions on the UW-La Crosse Campus Calendar, contact Larry Ringgenberg, University Centers, at ringgenb.larr@uwlax.edu or 785.8888.
