Log in to WordPress using your netID and a password you have set (note: this will be changing to SSO with your netID). If you don't know your password, request a web team member send you a password reset link.

In the left-hand menu, navigate to Events.

Click Add New.

Add the following items to your event:

Title

The name of your event.

Description

Add a description to your event in the large text box. You can style bold or italicize text. If it is a virtual event, add "This is a virtual event." to the description. Include a link to register here if applicable (e.g. Register now.)

Short event description example: 

Join the admissions team for an informative chat/webinar series designed to familiarize you with the admissions process, and provide guidance on how to produce a competitive application. This is a virtual event. Register now.

Long event descriptions: 

If the description is long and has more than two sections, you should add headings to make it more scannable.

• To add headings, highlight the heading text and select the text style (heading 2, heading 3, heading 4).
• You can also add a horizontal line to distinguish sections. Speaker bios and headshots can also be added here. Click the pencil icon on the image to adjust the photo size.
• See the example event for layout and styling reference. You must be logged in to WP to view this private event.
