People & Culture Events Calendar

We had our first P&C meeting of the new academic year on the 1st of October. Based on the feedback received from our Athena Swan Culture Survey, it was clear that there is a need of an events calendar to show various social events.

The School is working on alternative options to have a more central event management system. However, for this academic year, we will keep updating a shared calendar that you could simply subscribe by your favorite email client. It is important that you subscribe to this calendar online (don’t import since this would not be the most up-to-date version!). I will describe the steps below to subscribe to this calendar on Office 365 (Web client of Outlook).

Alternative way to access the Web view: Click on the “Upcoming Events” button on the right pane, this will redirect you to the same webpage as given above.

Subscribe to P&C Events Calendar on Office 365

  1. Open the Calendar page (https://outlook.office.com/calendar)
  2. Click on ‘Add calendar’ on the left pane.
  3. Click on ‘Subscribe from web’.
  4. Copy the .ics link, and paste it in the space provided.
  5. Provide a name for this calendar (such as ‘P&C Events’), pick your favorite color and charm, and click on ‘Import’.
  6. ‘P&C Events’ should be added to the ‘Other calendars’ section on the left pane.
  7. Make sure that the calendar is selected so that you could see the entries from this calendar on your Calendar view.

Check if the setup is correct

If you did these steps correctly, you should be able to see P&C Events that we will add to this shared calendar. If you did the setup correctly, you should see an ‘example P&C event’ on the 24th of October, 11am-noon.

Et voila!
