New Look and Feel: Admin Panel’s Events Module

Published on April 9, 2026

Stanford Groups Adminstrators,

As you know, there's a new look in town and it's the events module back end. We want to support you through this change.  Most time sensitive is the Live Demo we are hosting today, April 9 from  2:30 - 3:30 PT: CLICK HERE TO JOIN

Why the change?

Overall, this update introduces a more intuitive, seamless design and allows the vendor to roll out several requested (and future) platform improvements faster.

What to expect

  • New Layout: When you create a new event or manage an existing one, you will land in the new event design.

  • The "Safety Net": We know transitions take time. For at least the next month, you can toggle back to the old editor at any time if you get stuck. We’ll let you know when the old version is fully decommissioned.

Support & Feedback We want to hear from you as you explore the new interface. If you have questions:

  • Resources: Please review this "What to Know" Guide to explore the new features and layout. 

  • Crowdsource: Post in the "Event Panel Redesign" discussion. We’ll be monitoring this closely during this transition to respond to posts, and to learn what’s working well, and what can be improved in our support process as a whole! 

  • Direct Help: You are always welcome to submit a help ticket for individual support. Or you can call Stanford Technology Support (M-F, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Pacific Time) at (866) 543-0243 or Direct: (650) 724-0627.

  • Updated Guide: A fully refreshed Stanford Alumni Groups Resource Guide will be available in the ARG "Resources and Guidelines" tab, in the Club Leader Resources folder by the end of the month.
