Taubman College Google Events Calendar
The College uses an events calendar to centrally track events from multiple teams and to share information that needs to be accessible to larger groups. This is an internal calendar for faculty and staff to see what is happening throughout the building in an effort to avoid conflicting events and space usage. When planning any upcoming event, reference the Taubman College Events Google Calendar for previously scheduled happenings.
