One Calendar for Academics and Events at Fairfield University
“So the thing that makes me the happiest about 25Live is to be able to bulk edit stuff.”
Bridget Dalen, Fairfield University conferences and events team
Fairfield University’s 200-acre campus sits on the Connecticut coast, about an hour from New York City. About 6,800 students study across five schools, and the university’s catalog lists additional locations in Bridgeport and Mystic, Connecticut.
The campuses include 36 buildings that serve many purposes. Classes meet in the academic halls. Events take place in spaces like the Oak Room, Bellarmine Hall (dating to 1927), and the Quick Center for the Arts, which hosts hundreds of performances, lectures, and exhibits each year.
Two teams needed the same system. The conferences and events team and the registrar’s office each wanted something they could use every day, and after evaluating their options, they chose 25Live. Fairfield went live on 25Live in July 2025 and has since joined a Northeast 25Live user group that meets every other week to compare notes.
Day-to-day upkeep and responsive customer support are part of 25Live’s appeal.
“Customer support is amazing with 25Live, especially compared to what we used to have. They would not respond. Now I get responses immediately, and I get follow-up questions if I go back.”

Academic and Event Scheduling at DePauw University
DePauw University is a liberal arts college in Greencastle, Indiana, about 45 minutes west of Indianapolis. Its 1,900 undergraduate students live and study on 695 acres, and the town around them, about 10,000 people, is closely tied to campus life.
Classes meet across 36 buildings. East College, dedicated in 1877, still hosts classes and events, and the School of Music, the Theatre Department, and the Communications Department share the Green Center for the Performing Arts, where the venues range from a 220-seat recital hall to a 1,330-seat auditorium.
The calendar outside the classroom is just as full. The Green Center hosts around 100 performances a year, from masterclasses to mainstage productions, including the Green Guest Artist series and the annual DePauw Theatre and DePauw Opera productions. Students gather in the ballroom and Ubben Lounge at the Memorial Student Union Building, known as the UB, and the annual Monon Bell football game against Wabash College is a campus highlight. Beyond campus, the 520-acre DePauw Nature Park, a former limestone quarry, has an amphitheater that can be reserved through the Office of Conference and Campus Events.
DePauw went live on 25Live in August 2026, and it uses 25Live for events and all academic courses.

The Blank Sheppard Innovation Center adds labs for robotics, data science, and engineering design, along with labs and classrooms for the nursing program.
The calendar beyond the classroom offers a wide range of events.

Customers Tell Us Our Service, Support and Training are Second to None!
Very fast response that gave me exactly what I needed. Always a great experience with CollegeNET—better than any other vendor!
Shanna, Catharine, and Tanya are all awesome. They each jumped immediately into trying to help resolve my issue, and as a team we did so quickly and efficiently. CollegeNET is my favorite vendor and I tell my colleagues all the time that our other vendors are all crooks or idiots (or both) compared to you guys.
I am so impressed—no one beats CollegeNET for tech support. They are a super team!
Implementation was very thorough. We were in very capable hands with the CollegeNET technical team, and, of course, there's the smooth integration with Workday. All data updates are automatic and fast. Information is current within minutes, so we don't have to think about administrative fixes anymore.
The recent implementation of 25Live on campus marks a significant advance in streamlining classroom scheduling and event planning, ensuring that students, faculty, and staff will be able to access and book campus facilities with unprecedented ease and flexibility.
Yesterday, I communicated with our scheduling team and our supervisor, letting them know how AWESOME you guys have been…. We appreciate the fast speed you guys have put into providing solutions to all of your customers' scheduling needs.
When I brag about CollegeNET having the absolute BEST customer support – it’s not based on just liking the folks we work with (which we do) – it’s based on responses to real problems. Kudos to the CollegeNET support team!
Beyond your technical knowledge you made the training so engaging and your endless patience with the same questions over and over. I really try to model it whenever I am answering questions. I especially liked the X25 training. I think that really sets CollegeNET apart and a lot of those visualizations were really innovative.
Thank you! I have to say, stuff like this is why I regularly tell my peers in higher education that CollegeNET is my favorite vendor I've worked with so far. You guys really do have excellent service.
Customer Success Stories
Academic and Event Planning
“We looked at several event scheduling systems, but the choice was easy,” Bailey said. “We saw that 25Live did everything we wanted.”
“25Live offered us all the capabilities we weren’t getting from our old system, plus far superior customer service.”
- Noel Ponder, Manager of Conferences and Event Services
“We evaluated a variety of event and facility management tools and 25Live was the best fit for the needs of our users.”
– Amos Joseph, Director of Web Services
Every campus event. Every student organization. One platform.
Introducing our student engagement software, Connect25, a whole new way to manage student organizations built natively inside 25Live. No more juggling event registration, room requests, budgets, and communications across multiple tools. Everything your team needs, in the platform you already know and trust.
For more than 40 years, we have worked exclusively with colleges and universities. CollegeNET provides software for academic scheduling, event scheduling, and campus operations to hundreds of colleges and universities. Many of our employees are former schedulers, so the people building and supporting the software have lived through a first week of term.
People who know the product and your work. The goal of a support request is a solved problem, not a canned reply with a link. Noel Ponder at Carleton College described it this way: “We get real people, real responses in an incredibly short period of time.”
We undergo an independent SOC 2 Type II examination every year and complete the PCI DSS self-assessment annually. We also complete the HECVAT for institutions that request one. For more, see our security page.
Switching is a real decision with real work behind it, and we treat it that way. A good starting point is the list of problems you are living with now, such as double bookings, term uploads that take a day, or data nobody fully trusts, and whether a platform built for higher education solves each one. Norfolk State moved academic scheduling to another platform and is now transitioning back to 25Live for better features and more responsive support. Our 2026 Guide to Solving Higher Education Scheduling Issues walks through the problems we hear about most.
