Welcome!

The University's Calendar of Events includes listings of events to be held at any of the University's four campuses-Kingston, Narragansett, Providence, or W. Alton Jones- as well as events that are sponsored or hosted by the University at other locations.

The goal of the calendar is first and foremost to inform the University community - students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends - about the activities that are available through the University. It is also to inform the general public about events they may wish to attend.

In order to ensure that the overall calendar is as complete as possible, members of the university community are invited to submit events for inclusion in the calendar.

How to submit an event:

• The preferred way is to Use the "Submit an Event" link on the calendar page to send all the information needed. This form has all of the fields for the database from which the calendar program draws its information and will be sent to the News Bureau where they will review it, and then approve it and insert it into the database..

• E-mail an event. Short of using the on-line form, calendar of events information may be e-mailed to us. Please see the on-line form for all of the information needed to post your event.

• Other means: Of course, if you hare unable to submit the information electronically, it can be mailed to our office at The Alumni Center, 73 Upper College Road, Kingston Campus, or faxed at 874-7872.

Please note that all submissions must include the time, date and place of the event, a brief description (speaker, film title, performer, etc.), the name of the sponsoring organization, name and phone of contact person, and whether admission will be charged. Incomplete submissions cannot be posted.

How soon will your event be posted? Once submitted, events will be posted within 24 hours during the Monday-Friday time frame. Events submitted on a Friday, should be posted by late Monday of the week following.

Editorial Policy: The calendar editors check entries against written information provided to the department. The items are chosen for publication according to several criteria, including timeliness, general and campus interest, and University sponsorship.
