events listings on UWindsor.ca homepageProper use of the University’s online calendar service can help promote events throughout the UWindsor website.

Using online calendar listings can open up prime real estate

Listing events in the website calendar provided through the University’s Drupal content management system can help others spread the word, says Rob Aitkens of Public Affairs and Communications.

“Each department’s calendar of events can feed into the central listing, which we use to populate high-profile boxes on the UWindsor.ca homepage,” he says. “Our system is set up to enable listings in the calendar to appear on pages across the entire website.”

Aitkens — who holds the office of web design and development lead — notes that some departments have not activated their events calendars, while others have not yet requested they be included in the umbrella listing at uwindsor.ca/event-calendar.

He encourages anyone responsible for an official UWindsor site to contact him with questions at raitkens@uwindsor.ca.
