The School of Public Health website has a calendar of events, available at schoolofpublichealth.washu.edu/calendar. A number of categories are provided for filtering purposes.
Adding individual events to your calendar
When you visit the page of an individual event, an Add to calendar dropdown will appear near the bottom of the description. Clicking on it will reveal three ways you can add the event to your calendar: Google Calendar, iCalendar, and Outlook 365.
The new entry in your calendar will have the date, time, title, location, details of the event, along with a link to the event page.
NOTE: If details for an event change and the event is added to your calendar through this method, the calendar entry does not automatically change. To make sure that you have the latest information for an event, you can visit the event link that is included in the event entry on your calendar, or subscribe to the entire calendar (see below).
Subscribing to a calendar
Subscribing to a calendar will automatically add and update events to your calendar application of choice. Like above, each event will have the date/time, title, location, description, and a link to the event page along with a Zoom link if applicable.
Subscribe to all events
To subscribe to all events, you can select the Subscribe to calendar dropdown on the main calendar page, or click one of the buttons below to add to your calendar of choice.
Additionally, you can subscribe to a specific subset of event categories. On the main calendar page, select the categories you are interested in, click Subscribe to calendar, and then select where you want to subscribe. Please note that if new categories are added in the future, these subscriptions will not include those new categories.
We will provide links for audience-specific calendars (faculty, staff, students, everyone) in the future. This will alleviate the problem of new categories not being added. Please check back for those links.
Notes
- If an event is updated on the site, the entry in your calendar will update within 24 hours.
- Once an event has passed, some calendar applications will automatically remove the event entry from your calendar.
- Events added by subscribing do not have alerts or reminders included.
A note about future updates
The School of Public Health’s website will be receiving a redesign in the coming weeks with some functionality potentially changed. While we do not anticipate calendar subscriptions to be disrupted during the transition, we will reach out through appropriate channels to update on any changes.
If you encounter issues with the calendar, please contact the communications team at sphcomms@wustl.edu.
