[img_inline align=”right” src=”http://padnws01.mcmaster.ca/images/calendar.jpg” caption=”The revamped Calendar of Events.”]The Daily News has launched a revamped Calendar of Events.

The calendar, designed to provide viewers with all the information they need to know about what is happening at McMaster on a daily, weekly and monthly basis, is interactive with links to relevant Web sites, is printable and email compatible. The Calendar now features a Photo of the Day linked to the award-winning Picture McMaster website.

McMaster faculty, staff, students and alumni are encouraged to utilize the Calendar as statistical data proves it is a great way to publicize upcoming events. There is also a link to the calendar from the McMaster home page.

To make a submission, visit the Calendar of Events located at http://dailynews.mcmaster.ca/Event_Calendar/Events/index.cfm, or through the Make a Submission link on the Daily News home page.

If you have questions or require more information contact the Calendar of Events editor, Chantall Van Raay, at cevents@mcmaster.ca or call ext. 26958.
