UNF Calendar Upgrade

UNF is proud to release a new UNF Calendar platform at events.unf.edu. A collaborative effort from Information Technology Services and Marketing & Communications, this user-friendly calendar includes many updated features that streamline event sharing within the University and to the public.

It is crucial and imperative that ALL EVENTS hosted/co-hosted by UNF that are open to the public or the campus community are on the main calendar.
