The new-style student and staff events listings are available from the student and staff portal respectively, and bring events into a single 'audience' page. They can also be viewed from the events section of our website.
For your events to appear on these listings*, Web Authors can create an event in the Web Hub ensuring that the correct audiences are selected in the metadata, e.g. current students, current staff and/or general public.
If you're creating a series of events, such as the Brexit Roadshows, Big Picture Seminars or Great Talks at Medway please get in touch with Internal Communications to agree a collection tag to use for these events so they can be easily shared with internal audiences, and to agree a communications schedule for inclusion in our Forward Internal Communications Plan. Using tags in this way means your page is always up-to-date, as once events have taken place they are no longer displayed.
Tags are also used to create the weekly staff events article and the monthly student event highlights article. Only events created in the Web Hub can be included in articles in this way. If you have events which should be included in either of these regular updates please contact Internal Communications.
You can also submit announcements on the portal as reminders for your events. Announcements can be submitted in advance but will only be published a week before your event takes place.
If you would like to discuss sharing information across the university, either to students or staff (or both), then please get in touch with Stephanie Robinson.
* The events listings also include events from Eventbrite and Gecko, however these can not be used in the same way within articles.
