The Daily Collegian is probably still the #1 source for students when it comes to being informed about what is happening on campus (http://www.sa.psu.edu/sara/pulse/150-SPA.pdf). So, for staff in Student Affairs, it is important to know how the Collegian is handling an events calendar. For many years, they did not have an events calendar. They looked the University's events calendar but decided against duplicating that effort. So, what do you think....will students use it?, will staff submit events to it? Too soon to tell...most students and staff might not even know about it yet.
So take a look at http://www.collegian.psu.edu/calendar/. You will notice right away that they are using Google Calendar. To submit an event for inclusion, send an email to campus@psucollegian.com. Be sure to include: What, When, Where and a Description. If you event will draw in students from other campuses, be sure to include the entire address, city, state and zip code because Google will add a "map" link to your event.
