Listing Events on Calendars

If you are organizing an event and you want to let people know about it, here are some good places to list it online:

The Official MIT Events Calendar (http://events.mit.edu/index.html). Events listed here will automatically be listed on the Department and SA+P website as well, and this is the course of some of our twitter and facebook feeds as well. Most support staff and some faculty are authorized to list events here. (If you can't add events and want to, contact Ezra Glenn in HQ.) See http://events.mit.edu/help/index.html for additional help on adding events to this calendar.

• Plaza: Be sure to list your event on Plaza, most likely under "Dept. Culture and Events" or "Conferences and Talks".
• The Student-Run "Google Calendar": It's called the "student-run" calendar for a reason -- students created it, and are empowered to add events to it. See here for info on how to use it. (Note: after click the link, you will be asked to log into Plaza; upon successful login, please wait patiently -- maybe a seemingly-interminable four seconds -- and you'll get redirected to google calendar info page.) ** Important: don't delete events from this calendar simply because you are not going -- it will delete them for everyone. **
• Email: try to be sparing in the number of email announcements and reminders you send, and use the narrowest possible distribution list.
