Creating Events

To help others looking at created events in planning other events these practices will help:

1. Be bold (as the tech firms say): lean to including more things rather than fewer (this will help with other's planning)

2. If the event is tentative include (Hold) in the title.  Remove from title when the event firms up (ideally 1-2 weeks out).

3. In the description include:

   1. A contact name/email for the event (we can't see who created it, so for questions it's good to know who to contact)

   2. An intended audience (e.g., undergrad students, faculty, postdocs, doc students, all, research staff, all staff).
