Events will be displayed as Name, Scope, (e.g. class name, personal, UW-Superior, etc), and Description. The Name is the name of the event, such as "paper 1 due" or " meet Mr. N.P.".

The Description is a short explanation such as " Meet Mr. N.P. at Canal park at 3 p.m.". Any date with a personal event will be highlighted in blue on the Calendar.
