Upon my arrival at Saint Cloud State University the Events Calendar was in dire need of an upgrade. Taking on the project had been a dream of mine since I began working in the ITS department of SCSU. In late 2002 I was presented with the opportunity to lead the design, development and launch of a new Events Calendar system for the
campus. Over the next couple months, while juggling my other duties, I met with department heads and administration to define the requirements of the system, assembled and presented a design plan, executed that plan, and deployed the system. The updated Events Calendar includes a robust search function, event proposal process, an integrated Academic Calendar for important school related dates and an integrated Inter-Faith Holiday Calendar.
