 You spoke, we listened!
Campus Life Services
After hearing from many of you that our event registration process was difficult, we collaborated with The Elm to bring you a new calendar and a new way to register.
Now, when you see a Campus Life Services event that interests you in Campus Life Weekly, the link will take you right to The Elm calendar to RSVP for the event. Follow the link, enter your information, and you're done. It's that easy! You can even sign up for an email reminder or add it automatically to your personal calendar with a click of a button. And, once you're there, you'll also be able to see the rest of the events on campus.
Questions? Comments? Email Jenny Owens.
