INSTAAR events are entered using the CU (Localist platform).ÌýThe events will appear on the campus calendar instantly and on theÌýINSTAAR websiteÌýwith a potential delay of up to an hour.ÌýEnteringÌýINSTAAR events can only be done by official calendar admins. This guide provides admins with tips for entering, editing, and formatting.
If you are not an admin and want to instead submit an event for consideration or have events automatically appear in your personal calendar, see the Events calendar resource.
As a general rule, only add events that are either hosted by INSTAAR or sponsored or promoted by an INSTAAR group. If it's just "of interest" to INSTAARs, we don't usually put in on the calendar. For example, we don't usually post Geography Department colloquia, even those that feature INSTAAR speakers.ÌýBut we might add a diversity talk on or off campus that's being recommended by the JEDI Task Force.
When in doubt, go ahead and add it. It's better to err on the side of inclusivity than exclusivity.
Key fields
Entering information - Localist has a bunch of fields.ÌýFortunately, you can ignore many of them. You only need to pay attention to a handful of key fields.
For the Group field, you must click and choose "Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research" every time. If you don't, the event will not appear on the INSTAAR website.Ìý
