Walsh University has launched a new events calendar that can be used as a universal resource to Cav Nation for internal meetings, club events, public gatherings, concerts, and other major university events. ANY member of Cav Nation organizing an event or meeting is encouraged to submit an event through the website. Please allow 24-48 hours for your event to be approved and posted to the calendar. For public events, please ensure you are following all of the event protocols and have the approval of your advisor (for students) or department Vice President (for staff) before moving forward with your submittal. We hope that this will serve as a convenient tool to give a bird’s eye view of all that is happening on our campus. For safety purposes we will not be including this link on our public facing website so please bookmark calendar.walsh.edu and use it often!
