Coming Soon: New institutional event calendar

Thursday, Apr 9, 2026 • 11:06 AM pvaldes

A new, more modern institutional event is being adopted by UTMB this month. Submissions to the current event calendar will stop being accepted on April 15; traffic to the original calendar will be redirected and the original tool will eventually be taken offline.

You can preview and post to the new calendar now. Events appear on the calendar homepage, can be embedded on other web pages, and shared through multiple channels. All UTMB community members can access the submission form, which is to be used for UTMB-sanctioned or university-related events.

Updated guidelines and user tips are now online and linked to the new calendar home page.
If you have questions about the new tool or transition, please share them with the event calendar team.
