Happening @ Michigan is the most comprehensive events calendar at the University of Michigan. Built as a custom application by Technology Solutions and sponsored by Campus Information, the current version of Happening launched in July of 2014. Since launch, website traffic has grown exponentially every year from a peak of 100,000 views in September of 2014 to over 11 million total views to date. In the 2023-2024 academic year, nearly 10,500 events were published through this application.
This custom application offers a variety of intuitive features, including the ability to add events to your Google Calendar, and provides customized feeds that can power event listings on websites, and digital signage by providing dynamic event information, that can be filtered by sponsoring group, tags, location and event type. A built-in importer can create events from your existing event management and promotion systems automatically and your data is also exportable through a downloadable spreadsheet. A custom search function can also be used to find events and includes spelling-correction and promotion based on event interest and date.
Happening @ Michigan powers many departmental calendar feeds on their respective websites, both inside and outside of Student Life becoming a valuable resource across the university as a whole. Additionally, featured events can be promoted on Happening @ Michigan and displayed in the University of Michigan Gateway events feed, in the Michigan Mobile App, and the University Record.
