'And we're live in 3...2...1!' Events are a main staple of the college experience and the cultural fabric of a university, bringing people together with common interests from different walks of life. Whether your event is offered for students, alumni, staff and faculty, community members, or other constituents, it is important to make it as easy as possible to discover, sign up, and attend the exciting gathering.
If you are looking to add or edit events that originate from The Hub or Arts & Events calendar systems, this content can be updated through the Control Panel, a separate tool that is hosted outside of Omni CMS. You will need access to this tool in order to make updates.
How to Update The Hub
The Hub disseminates events to students, many of which are focused on career success, culture, health and wellness, recreation, and more. (For major events that serve the larger campus and local community, see the information below on How to Update the Arts & Events Calendar.)
