Publishing your first event

Events are the point of the portal. Each one lands in the Community feed, gets its own shareable public page, and can be added to a student’s calendar in one tap.

1. Create the event

From Events in the portal, start a new event. Every new event begins as a private draft that only your team can see. Fill in:

• Title: specific beats clever. Students scan the feed quickly.
• Date and time: pick both; the time drives where it lands in the day.
• Mode: in person or online. In-person events show a location; online ones show joining details.
• Location: the building and room, or the platform.
• Description: what it is, who it is for, and whether newcomers are welcome.
• Category: clubs, career, academic, or official. This drives the feed filters.
• Banner image: optional. Without one your card uses your brand colour and initials, which still looks intentional.
• Relevant programs: optional. Tagging programs makes the event show for students in them under For my program.

2. Preview it

The editor shows a live student-eye preview of the card as you type. Check the title is not truncating and the banner is not cropping badly.

3. Publish

Save draft keeps it private; Publish puts it in the Community feed and on your public profile (for a pending club, once you are approved). Every event also gets a public link that anyone can open without an account: paste it into Instagram, a group chat, or a poster QR code.

4. Post about it

If the event has a banner image, you can also share it to the Feed as a post. Your followers get a notification when your club publishes a new post, so use posts deliberately: a group that posts constantly gets unfollowed.

5. See how you are doing

Insights shows your followers, your posts, the events you have published, and how many are still to come.
