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!

Hi everyone,
We’re still transitioning to our new database, so please pardon our dust.
With big updates come the inevitable: software bugs! You don’t like them, and we sure don’t like them either. We’re working very hard to track down the last few pieces so we can get Happenings rolling at 100% again.
We encourage you to use the calendar widget and search box located on the right hand side on all pages. If you click on “Sports” and notice events like basketball games are not listed, use the search box or scroll through ‘All Events 30 Days’ to find them.
If you find a bug, please let us know.
