Adding an Off-Campus Event to the Events Calendar

If you are organizing an event for the 51С�Ƴ� community that does not require a room reservation request through EMS, such as an event being held at an off-campus location, please contact the Office of College Marketing and Communications at hcevents@holycross.edu or call 508-793-2419 with the following information:

• date, time and location of event
• email address and phone number of the person(s) running the event
• short description of program or speaker
• intended audience (campus community, general public, etc.)
• a JPEG image of the speaker or image related to your event

Editing an Existing EMS Reservation

51С�Ƴ� community members who have already submitted an EMS reservation for an event can log in, view and monitor their submitted events. To make changes to your EMS reservation, contact the space owner who approved your event (a list of space owners can be found in the .) Note: All location changes must still be made on the original EMS reservation; the Events Calendar will automatically update based on any changes in EMS.

Publicizing Events to the Media

If you are organizing an event (speaker, concert, performance, exhibit, etc.) that you think may be of interest to a general audience or the media, please contact the Office of College Marketing and Communications at hcevents@holycross.edu or call 508-793-2419 with the following information:

• date, time and location of event
• cost (if any)
• contact information (to be used in the release and in the media)
• short description of program or speaker
• intended audience (campus community, general public, etc.)
• a JPEG image of the speaker or image related to your topic
• if your speaker is available to be interviewed by the media in advance, during or after the event 

In order for us to most effectively publicize your events, items should be submitted at least three weeks in advance. Four weeks is preferable, as most media outlets require substantial lead times for their own deadlines.

Note that the number of events on campus and the uncontrollable nature of the news media make advance publicity or coverage of your event impossible to guarantee.
