Page Elements for Events
Along with listing key content for your event, you may also utilize the various page components below, which will enhance your event page.
The title of your event listing.
The important details to your event listing.
The screenshot below depicts a listing of categories (Athletics, Networking, Reunion, Social) and a topic (Alumni) that a potential event might fall into. By selecting categories and topics, it helps visitors find your event when applying filters from the main news webpage.
Visit the main news page for a complete listing of available categories and topics.
The summary text can draw the readers into your event listing.
An optional hero image can be used to help promote aspects of your event or aspects of a previous event. This image should be sized to the dimensions of 960x640px and follow best practices for its file naming and alt text inclusion.
The body text can contain additional details regarding your event. This is a good location for an agenda, registration details and other supplemental information that would be helpful for folks to know.
The event section can be used to include the main contact or an event with the ability to list more than one if appropriate. Note that the event contact pulls from the directory listing so if utilizing this feature, make sure the individual is listed with accurate information.
Other news/events relating to your event listing.
If you assign a category to your event, this section will populate automatically with a collection of recent events that also had that category assigned. You will not manually assign event listings for this section.
