Calendar How-To

How to Add a New Event

To add your event to the calendar, click the Submit an Event link from the calendar (https://calendar.law.upenn.edu) right nav. You will be prompted to login with your PennKey  username and password (if you are not logged in already.) You can also login to the CMS directly. This will take you to the interface that shows your existing events as well as a link to add new events.

 

Enter the details of your event in the form.


Event Title: The title of your event

Images: You can add a single image or image slideshow to your event details page.

Summary: The summary will be displayed on the calendar list pages. We recommend that every event added to the calendar has a summary. It should be a few short sentences and include who the event is open to and information about the event such as the speaker.
