This page will list feedback the campus community has provided about both the back end (content.uiowa.edu) and front end (events.uiowa.edu) for the new events calendar. Feel free to send other feedback along to events@uiowa.edu.
Note: If something is on this list, it does not mean it will for sure get implemented. As the system does get updated, this page will get information about what new features have been put in place. If something is chosen not to be implemented, this page will also be updated with that information as well as why it is not being implemented.
