Calendaring for colleges, universities,
and you.

Is your campus calendar as dynamic and interesting as life on your campus?

LiveWhale Calendar gives colleges and universities one beautiful, flexible place to collect, manage, and promote events—without making everyone on campus work the same way. It’s easy to use, brings all your calendars together, and makes your events look great.

LiveWhale Calendar is used by over 100 great schools worldwide. These are just a few of them.

Our clients range from massive university systems to small private colleges, and from local community colleges to the Ivy League.

The most important page of your website

Your campus calendar tells a story about your school that’s meaningful and true, and that all your audiences are interested in reading.

With the right calendaring platform, your team can curate events— on your calendar, your homepage, and elsewhere— to help shape the story you want your website to tell.

If your calendar is hard to use, or painful to look at, or only shows 10% of what’s actually happening — then it’s telling the wrong story. 

01

Events from all your other platforms can be easily integrated into one unified campus calendar. 

Integrate with athletics sites (Sidearm, PrestoSports), EMS, 25Live, Slate, Salesforce, Localist, CampusGroups, Engage, Presence, and more — plus all modern SSO systems and any CMS.


02

LiveWhale was designed for colleges and universities, and has all the features a great campus calendar needs.

Event registration and planning tools. Reporting and analytics. Workflow and approvals. Easy data importing and exporting. Privacy and event visibility options. 
If a campus calendar needs it, LiveWhale has it.

03

LiveWhale works great out of the box, but it’s completely customizable (by your team or ours).

If your web team likes to get their hands dirty, use LiveWhale’s flexible, developer-friendly configuration and theming to make the personalized calendar of your dreams. If not, that’s fine too — you’ll never have to think about LiveWhale code at all.

04

LiveWhale is WCAG 2.2 AA compliant, and we’re passionate about the accessibility of our software.

We’d be happy to share our accessibility compliance documentation with you. In addition, LiveWhale is TX-RAMP certified for data security, and our firewall-protected, load balanced managed hosting platform averages 99.99% uptime.

04

LiveWhale is backed by an attentive and dedicated product support team.

Whether it’s via personalized email support, our discussion forum for users and developers, or just our product documentation: we think clear communication among real human beings is still key to delivering a great user experience.


Under the hood

Serious software. Surprisingly little drama.

The stuff your communications team cares about and the stuff your developers care about can coexist. We checked.

This is what a campus looks like

Is your school more interesting than your calendar makes it look?

Exhibitions. Lectures. Football games. Performances. Open houses. That thing where they bring dogs to campus for stressed students to hang out with.

There is so much that’s already happening on your campus. Your calendar should look as exciting as your campus experience.

In the wild

Just because your calendar is made of data doesn’t mean it can’t be beautiful.

LiveWhale Calendar’s front end is super customizable. We ship with a universal theme that looks and works great; we can integrate your brand colors and graphic standards with the theme (or you can do it yourself).  It’s quick and inexpensive to roll out.

But if you have a grander vision — if you want something completely personalized to your institution — then literally every component of your calendar can be customized. Theming is easy, and can be done in house or by our team.

hi, we’re white whale

The people who built LiveWhale are the people behind it.

We know that in higher ed, companies get acquired and traded back and forth all the time. We’re not like that.

We didn’t acquire LiveWhale. We built it. And when you work with us, you’re working with people who know the product inside and out. The LiveWhale platform is built and supported by our company, White Whale Web Services, and we’ve been serving higher education for over 25 years.

“LiveWhale is easy, friendly, and responsive! As someone with limited developing experience, the calendar is easy to use and navigate. I also cannot stress how amazing the Personalized Support Plans are – it’s amazing to have time reserved and know it will get taken care of at the end of the day (or the end of the support window).”

Tara · Georgetown University

“We are very happy with LiveWhale - it’s a fairly easy solution to a big problem, and our community is getting more and more adept at posting to it.”

Amy Chetcuti, Santa Rosa Junior College

“We’ve enjoyed our experience with Livewhale Calendar from the beginning. Brilliant product with growing features. Definitely give them a look if you’re considering a robust calendar product.”

Marcy Olson, SMSU
