Submitting an event
- Go to calendar.kenyon.edu and click the purple "Submit an Event" button. You will be prompted to log in with your Kenyon credentials and the DUO two-factor authentication process.
Note: Any current Kenyon student, faculty or staff member can submit an event.
- In the event submission form, add your event's name and description, including the link to your virtual event platform and any additional information needed to join the event like a code or password.
- Add a date and start/end times and indicate whether your event will repeat or reoccur. Click "Add Above to Schedule" once you've filled in the date and time fields.
- In the "Location" sections, put "Virtual Event" in the "Place" field. The other fields can be left blank.
- The event hashtag, website and ticketing information fields are all optional.
- If you have an image for your event, you can upload it by clicking the purple "Upload" button. Please make sure that your image is correctly licensed. If you don't have an image, the communications team will select a default one when publishing your event.
- In the "Filters" section, select the relevant event type and department; note that there is now a event type specifically for virtual events.
- When you have filled in the necessary fields, click the purple "Add Event" button at the bottom of the form. Your event will be previewed by the communications team and published within 1-2 working days. Please contact lindoe@kenyon.edu if there is any urgency to your submission.
More information is available about editing events and sharing them after publication.
