...current event-publicizing model in which student groups spam as many list-serves as possible with event blurbs isn’t working. It’s annoying, ineffective, and limited in potential impact. Instead, in order to streamline event-publicizing on campus, University administrators should commit more resources to this problem and work with the Undergraduate Council to offer a new, more user-friendly online events calendar...
...that each email will be read and runs the risk of alienating potential event attendees. Additionally, this type of publicizing often depends on students planning their schedules weeks or days in advance. Many students take things day-by-day and will go to events whenever they have time; because list-serves aren’t personalized to ad hoc schedules, emails can be completely ineffective when students delete them days before the event happens. Often, students only find out about interesting events the morning after they happen...

From the start of freshman year, whether because of our broad curiosity or plain indecisiveness, many of us have signed up on every group and event list that could ever even remotely interest us.

Right now, students don’t use the current online events calendar, HarvardEvents, because it’s just too overwhelming—it’s one big mass of uncategorized daily events...
...goal of this initiative is clear. Students will have cleaner inboxes, greater access to information, and the freedom to selectively plug in and digest all this information. Club groups will also benefit because instead of just targeting their list-serve members, they will be able to present detailed information to the entire Harvard community. With the ability to plan and update their events-calendar section for the full year, they won’t be hassled with continuously sending multiple reminders for each event throughout the year...
...have a rule list of things you can and can’t do. The all-black rule is for fashion shows and events. It’s like a private school. We don’t want self-expression at our shows. Do you think Martin Margiela wants his PR team to wear Cavalli? I don’t think so. Black is non-descript. You don’t know if it’s GAP or Yohji...
