At Happenings, we’re always looking for the best way to keep you informed about the amazing array of arts, sports, lectures, and other events on campus. Starting today, we’re going to focus on sharing that information via Twitter and closing our Facebook fan page. For Facebook users, we’ll still have Facebook commenting and “Like” buttons throughout the event pages on our web site.
If you’re already on Twitter, follow us there. If you’re not, you can always see what we’re up to at twitter.com/uclahappenings. You don’t even need an account.

Today we’re excited to announce the roll out of a new feature on Happenings. Over a year ago we added the ability to recommend events and it’s been a very popular feature on the site. People love recommending events that they find interesting.
We’re taking this one step further and displaying every event that has been recommended in Happenings all in one place. It’s a truly crowd sourced list that shows the most popular events happening around UCLA as recommended by our users. We hope you’ll use this to help you find the most interesting events happening around UCLA.

Have you seen our Happenings poster promoting m.ucla.edu? You may have noticed an alien looking symbol in one of the speech bubbles. No, it was not a printing error, a character from space invaders, or alien hieroglyphics. It’s a QR Code!
QR Codes, which were popularized in Japan, work just like barcodes, but they can act as links to web sites. To scan a QR Code, you will need two things: a smart phone with a camera, and a QR Code reader app. There are many free QR Code reader apps available. Please visit the app store for your particular phone to download one.
Here are some free readers you can download for free:
iOS: QuickMark
Android: QuickMark
Palm WebOS: QR deCODEr
Blackberry: ScanLife Barcode Reader
Once you have an app, point your camera at the Happenings poster and scan the code.
Happy scanning!
