Viterbi Common Web Calendar

The Viterbi Web Calendar (https://viterbischool.usc.edu/events/) is open to all Viterbi Faculty and Staff to post events. This is a public calendar and we encourage you to post all open/public events in this system. You can visit the calendar by clicking on the Events Link under the About menu on the Viterbi School site or from the homepage in the events section). Once you post to the Viterbi Calendar your events will automatically be available to several systems:

• Viterbi Web Calendar - This is the calendar accessible from all Viterbi Pages. This calendar can also be embedded onto Department webpages.
• Viterbi RSS Feeds - These feeds are available for all to use and are compliant with RSS 2.0 specifications. RSS Feeds can be used on the USC Portal, outside Portals such as MyYahoo, Google, etc.., as well as in browsers that support RSS such as Firefox. For a complete list of available Viterbi RSS Feeds visit: https://viterbiit.usc.edu/rss-feeds/
• RTH Digital Signage - The RTH Digital Signage system consists of approx a dozen screens distributed between the first, second and fifth floors of Ronald Tutor Hall.
• Weekly Faculty/Staff Email - Each Monday morning an email is sent to all Faculty and Staff of the Viterbi School listing the events for the coming week.

Reminders when posting an event:

• Always include a start and approximate end time. If you do not include the times some systems will not accept your events, namely the screens in RTH require a valid start and end time.
• Always be sure to include a location or a URL for more information so people can find your event
• Be as descriptive and concise as possible with your event titles. Many of the systems only display the event title and if you say "Seminar Today" that does not really give the viewer a reason to go or learn more about your event. If you said: "EE Seminar on Microprocessors by Dr. xyz" then it tells people right away what the event is and why they would want to attend.
