All members of the university community are welcome to feature events and announcements on the A&M-Commerce Community Calendar. The calendar is a great communication tool that reaches current and prospective students, faculty, staff, alumni and the greater community.
Information that is published on the Community Calendar is also included on an email newsletter (sent to faculty, staff and students) and is often promoted on the university’s social media channels.
Events are activities that are scheduled for a specific time and place. Events will appear on the A&M-Commerce Community Calendar and will also be included in an email newsletter (sent to all current faculty, staff and students) beginning one week prior to the date of the event.
Guidelines:
Allow enough time. Submit an event to the calendar as far in advance as possible to provide greater exposure and allow potential attendees ample time to plan.
Include an image. All submission items (except for Academic Calendar and Athletics submissions) require an image to go with the submission. These images are not allowed to feature prominent text on them, so no posters/flyers. If you need good imagery for your submissions, feel free to use a photo from photos.tamuc.edu
Submit your calendar event via the form at the link below. Please review helpful tips that are imbedded throughout the form.
Wait for approval. After you submit your calendar item, it will be sent to the Office of Marketing Communications for review. You will be notified via email once your submission has been approved.
Announcements are different from events. They are intended as reminders for tasks that require action, like event registration or course enrollment. They can also be used as a “save the date” for a future event.
Announcements do not appear on the calendar website alongside events. Instead, they are included in an email newsletter (sent to all current faculty, staff and students) on the dates selected by the submitter. An announcement may run a maximum of three times. Announcements will always appear at the very top of the newsletter, above all upcoming events.
Guidelines:
Allow enough time. Submit an announcement far enough in advance to provide adequate exposure and allow potential attendees ample time to plan.
Include a call to action. A call to action should appear in the announcement name. For example: “Register Today for the Art Fair.”

Save the date announcements. When submitting announcements that are a “save the date” for an upcoming event, please include the date, time and location for the associated event in the description of the announcement, as that is the only place to include it.
