How do you prove the ROI of something like a campus events calendar?

For many institutions, that question gets tricky fast. Hidden IT costs, missed event postings, and low event visibility all chip away at value.

But when campuses modernize their events calendars, the results speak for themselves:
📈 Missouri S&T cut event upload time by 75% and increased listings by 345%
🎟️ The University of Louisville saw 160% more events and 200% higher attendance

These outcomes show how operational efficiency and stronger engagement directly drive measurable ROI.

A well-run calendar strengthens connection, visibility, and culture across the entire campus community.

How does your university help students feel connected to campus as soon as they arrive?

At Colgate University, fostering connection begins as soon as students map out their routes to class.

By combining their Interactive Map and Localist Events Calendar, Colgate created a seamless way for students to find where to go and who to be with.

📍 The map helps students navigate campus with confidence and accessibility in mind
📅 The calendar helps them discover community through personalized events

As Dave Herringshaw, Senior Digital Production Specialist, shared: “The map provides the ‘where,’ and Localist Events provides the ‘what and when.’ Together, they give students a unified digital experience.”
