University Calendar Events

If your event doesn't require a room reservation, Communications can add it to the university calendar. Submit events at least one week in advance. Events may take 2-3 business days to appear. If your event does involve a room reservation, events will appear on the university calendar the next day after approved. If you need to change an event date, time, room, publishing setting, for an event submitted by room reservation, you will need to go into the reservation system and make the changes. For all other changes, use the form below. If you have a last minute change, please call a Communications staff member for assistance.

Vanity Links, and QR Codes

Lawrence uses Vanity Links, and QR Codes to make it easier for us to share digital content with target audiences where our medium of communication is signage and/or print collateral, or when we desire to track specific usage/traffic.

• Vanity links are used for print pieces where we are directing traffic to top-level marketing pages that will never change on the website (e.g., Lawrence.edu/visit). Since they limit our options for future link paths (e.g., Lawrence.edu/visit prevents us from creating a web address like Lawrence.edu/visit/appleton), their use should be limited. You can request a specific Vanity link name, but be sure to test whether or not it is already taken. Communications will set up a GO link at the same time as the Vanity link so that we can track the usage of the Vanity link.
• QR codes are a tool for helping mobile device users access websites and digital assets without having to enter a link using their keyboard. QR codes can be scanned with a photo app on a phone and will bring up the link embedded in the QR code. We would encourage you to work with Communications to set up a QR code to avoid broken links, ensure tracking is in place, and ensure consistency.

Name Badges

Name badges are available for all Lawrence employees, including student workers. The Office of Communications designs and orders the badges, but your department is responsible for paying for the badges using the appropriate account string beginning with 100001-XXXX-YYYYY, where the Xs and Ys are your unique department accounting strings.
