How do I create featured events for my college, school, department, or unit?
Featured events are events you would like to give a prime spot on your calendar homepage or channels in the Featured Events Carousel to receive extra attention.
If you want to place a special event in the
Calendar Homepage featured section, please get in touch with Public Relations and Marketing Communications (PRMARCOMM). PRMARCOMM manages the selection of featured events at the top of the
calendar, providing users with a glimpse of upcoming campus events.
Contact us at tickets@gsu.uservoice.com to
request an event to be featured on the calendar.
Please remember that unique images are required for events that
will be featured.
If your college, school, unit, or department has a "Featured Events" option set up for your individual calendar, you can select this option for your event on the "5. Publish" tab, using the last dropdown field, "In Calendar Promotion." Individual featured events like this can be selected to appear on widgets using the Widget Builder and appear at the top of your main calendar pages.
NOTE: Make sure to select only the Featured Events option for your specific college, school, unit, or department. Do not select one you have no control over (including "FEATURED EVENTS"). If you do, the event will be removed.
