If you would like your event to appear on EWU's internal event calendar (primarily for students, faculty, & staff) and EWU's public event calendar (primarily for prospective students, alumni, & community), then you will be prompted to select "custom attributes" once you've selected an open event or meeting type. Event Planning and MarCom will review your selections to ensure they are appropriate for the calendars. If you do not see the necessary custom attributes, please contact 25Live@ewu.edu.


Logging into 25Live


Visit http://calendar.ewu.edu/ and use your SSO to login. You can access the 25Live link from the A-Z menu on InsideEWU. 

  • Employees: By default, employees are assigned to an employee security group with generic privileges when first logging into 25Live. If additional privileges are needed, please contact Event Planning.
