Jokes aside, you should really consider contacting the Events Department in advance. For example, the ability to schedule an event using the in game calendar is restricted to those with the [[Titles_Within_Eve_University#Sophomore|Sophomore title]] or above. So if you do not have this title yet, you really should contact a member of the Events Department to make sure that a proper calendar entry is being made. And we would do even more for you here, like making sure that your event appears in the weekly information mail, that it doesn't collide with classes, and so on. | Jokes aside, you should really consider contacting the Events Department in advance.
