University launches
its first comprehensive calendar
 A
new online calendar for The University of North Carolina at Pembroke
was launched September 26. It is the university's first comprehensive
calendar, and it is online at www.uncp.edu/calendar/.
The University Calendar
may be viewed as a single master calendar or as eight smaller calendars,
including academic, administrative, alumni, arts and entertainment,
athletics, faculty and staff and student life, said University Web Publisher
Lawrence Locklear.
"I believe
it is easy to use and useful," Locklear said. "In one source,
all University events are accessible to the public and the University
community."
University
and Community Relations Vice Chancellor Glen Burnette Jr. hailed
the project as an important one for a growing university.
"The Office
for University and Community Relations is pleased to offer this excellent
planning tool for the entire university and the public," Dr. Burnette
said. "The University Calendar is one of many valuable services
we offer to keep our public informed of the various events, accomplishments
and up-to-date news occurring at their University."
Links to the University
Calendar will be added throughout the UNCP web site. A "button"
will be added to the main UNCP web site linking to the University Calendar,
Locklear said. The calendar also has an email feature for its users.
"The public
can subscribe to individual calendars using their email address, and
they will be automatically sent reminders of events, as well as notifications
of addition/deletions/changes in events," Locklear said. "The
calendar may also be customized and printed for each viewer."
The University Calendar
may be viewed by day, week, two weeks, month or year.
"The calendar
will display all campus events, including student meetings, events at
Givens Performing Arts Center, athletic events and music department
performances," Locklear said.
Numerous calendar
managers from each University department have been selected to add events.
For more information

Publisher, at 910.521.6820 or lawrence.locklear@uncp.edu.
