Department Web Framework sites support two options for event calendars. We encourage departments to adopt the campus calendaring solution Trumba, because it integrates with other campus calendars and has more features to let end-users follow the calendar. Departments with complex calendars sometimes choose Drupal, because it is more customizable and integrates with other content throughout the website. The best solution for your unit will depend on how much flexibility you need in categorizing and displaying event information.
