———————————–
UBC’s new source for campus events, UBCevents, allows users to sort
and view events by topic, type, or date and to download events to
their own calendar via iCal files.
All event planners can register to create their own calendar, share
their events, and use RSS feeds to bring this information back to
their own website. Watch the site for the regularly updated Spotlight
events and Critic’s Choice.
