Add an Event to the Event Calendar (Chapter Leadership)

STC grants access to chapter leadership to post to the STC events calendar. You must first request this permission. Then, you can follow the steps to post events to the calendar.

Request Posting Permissions

If you don’t already have posting permissions, you can request them using a Google account specific to your chapter rather than a personal Gmail account. 

To request posting permissions, send an email to the events calendar administrator from your chapter-specific account and indicate that your chapter-specific account needs posting permissions.

Add an Event

If you have posting permissions, you can add an event to the Google calendar just like you would in your own personal google calendar. 

  1. Open the Google Calendar associated with the account that has posting access.
  2. On the calendar, go to the day of your event.
  3. Click on the day in the calendar to open a new event entry.
  4. Fill out the event entry form. For assistance, refer to Google’s Create an event in a shared calendar article.
    • You must confirm that you are saving your event to the shared STC Events calendar, as described in the linked Google article.
    • Be sure to set the appropriate time zone for your event. By default, the event calendar uses Universal Coordinated Time.

You can also copy an event from your chapter’s calendar to STC’s event calendar by following the steps Google’s Copy an event to another calendar article.
