Greenport streamlines access to College info.

Tucked away in our end­less stream of cam­pus-wide blitzes, you may not have no­ticed the re­lease of the Cam­pus Events Cal­en­dar, the newest ad­di­tion to the Green­Port web­site.

Spon­sored by the Coun­cil on Stu­dent Or­ga­ni­za­tions and pro­duced by the Hacker Club, the new cal­en­dar, which syncs events from the cam­pus-events list­serv and the Dart­mouth events cal­en­dar into a sin­gle stream, is just the lat­est in the gold mine of Col­lege-re­lated re­sources lo­cated on Green­port. The site func­tions as a handy dash­board that uti­lizes the Netvibes plat­form to in­te­grate tons of info about stu­dent life: every­thing from DDS menus to Hanover weather to Laun­dryView.

With win­ter course elec­tion com­ing up, one high­light of the site is the course elec­tion tab, which al­lows users to com­pare data from the Hacker Club’s Course Picker, the reg­is­trar’s timetable and the me­dian grade Google Doc all on one page.

Green­port, crowned with a search bar, would be a use­ful op­tion for any­one look­ing for a new home­page — or sim­ply try­ing to find cam­pus info with­out a di­rect link. While much of the site be­sides the home­page is com­posed of un­wieldy, em­bed­ded frames link­ing to other Col­lege sites, it still does a good job of cen­tral­iz­ing and or­ga­niz­ing lots of data in one place. Now, if only they could make new Blitz so con­ve­nient!

The new cal­en­dar is avail­able as an iCal file and an RSS feed.
