A few days after announcing the centralized and public Student Affairs Conference and Events Calendar, folks at NACA contacted me to ask if they could have edit permissions to add more of their events. So not only is someone at NACA so clued in that they noticed this calendar but they’re also willing to pitch in and make it better!
One of the specific questions they asked me is if they can add their webinars to the calendar. As I was initially creating the calendar, I had to decide whether to include webinars or just conferences. I opted to exclude webinars for two reasons. First, there are so many of them that the calendar would get very busy, perhaps making it less useful and more confusing. Second, I don’t know how often webinars are changed or rescheduled; I don’t make any promises or assurances but I hope we can keep the calendar up-to-date and correct. However, NACA is going to add their webinars to the calendar. We’ll see how that works out and maybe we’ll want to add webinars from the other organizations.
I’ve always been a bit suspicious of those NACA folks with their ridiculously fun conferences (they have many performers – musicians, magicians, etc. – at some of their conferences because those conferences are a great place to audition and book performers for campus events). But I’m reevaluating my opinion after this wonderfully positive response!
