menu

from the event page
Why is there a short description and a long description?
- The short description appears on the full calendar event list, and the long description
appears on your event's details page
- The first image demonstrates where the short description will be placed. The second
image demonstrates the usage of the long description.

fun collaborative learning activities and a guest lecture from our resident experts!
