Cañada College is excited to unveil its new
public event calendar, and encourage the campus to
start submitting their events!
This online calendar, being implemented at all three campuses
and the district through a vendor called LiveWhale, will allow the campus
community to more easily list their events for students and the public to see
and find. Useful features of the new event calendar include:
- Easier to navigate event submission form
- More robust event details sections (so you can provide
additional context/info on your events)
- Online/virtual meeting locations (for events that are
happening over Zoom)
- Recurring event listings (for weekly, bi-weekly,
monthly, or yearly events)
- Event type filters (so the user can more easily find
relevant events)
- Existing Google Calendars can be integrated into new
LiveWhale calendars (Cañada Marketing can help to set these up)
- Easier sharing (the links for copy/paste, Facebook,
twitter, email or adding to outlook are all possible)
SUBMITTING EVENTS
You can start submitting events now for inclusion on the
event calendar via the online submission page, which is available on the front page of the calendar.
Training on submitting events is not required, and we’ve created a submission
page FAQ to help navigate the process (although it’s pretty
self-explanatory!). For questions not addressed in the FAQ, please contact the
Cañada College Marketing Department.
PROVIDE YOUR FEEDBACK
This is a new system, and as such, we’ll need to make
improvements as we go along. We welcome your suggestions and feedback! Please
send your feedback to the Cañada
College Marketing Department.
Please
note that this new calendaring system is only for event listings and not for
reserving an event or room. In order to book/reserve physical space for
your event, you will still need to follow the current process. Please use
the Ad Astra space-booking tool for meeting requests that requires no set up or
A/V needs. If you would like to reserve a space or event that has setup
or AV needs please contact Rachel Corrales at corrales@smccd.edu. If your event
is fully-virtual, you do not need to use Ad Astra. Additionally, Ad Astra
reservations will not be connected to this new event calendar, so if you’d like
your event to be listed on the public event calendar, please follow the process
above.
The
new calendar allows for more robust event listings and an easier-to-understand
interface for anyone to enter events. We are especially excited for the
improved user-experience this will provide for our students who are searching
for Cañada College events.
