Having a centralized events calendaring system is the foundation of any active campus community. It stimulates student engagement by facilitating event organization and keeping students informed of what is happening on campus. While there are several enterprise calendaring systems out there, some platforms are more powerful than others. It is important when shopping around to carefully assess the needs of your specific institution and to know the ins-and-outs of the various platforms available. The most successful ones are very powerful and contain a large variety of different features, taking an event from A to Z. They were also created to foster and measure student involvement, which has been proven to positively affect student success and retention.
