We list the title, speaker, day, time, place. If the college sends me a press release, then I generally put a short write-up in Morgan briefs. Anything listed in the daily calendar is open to the public." We may start listing these with the "convocations" identifier to help folks identify what they are. I hope this helped answer your question! Miss Optimistic,

One cool thing about our online calendar is that it allows folks in the community (and anywhere for that matter) to submit events to be included on the calendar. If they are legit (yes, we do check them out!), we would love to include all types of events on the calendar. If you have any questions on how to submit, see the calendar section or call Mary Metcalf at 245-6121. Thanks for your question! Keep them coming! Miss Optimistic,

I have a somewhat related question. I am wondering if the paper publishes when Illinois College has their convocations open to the community. I have seen stories about them afterwards in the paper, but I never saw anything about it ahead of time. I wasn't sure if this was something I would have to get from the college or if it was published. I never appreciated them when I was forced to go, but now that I am older and wiser :), I have seen some interesting topics that I might have enjoyed. I agree; it is pretty cool.
