About buzz
If you're a Duke student, buzz is for you. It's the university calendar that highlights events organized by and for student groups -- large and small, recognized or not. Duke launched buzz in January 2009 to complement Events@Duke, its calendar for general audiences. Since this is version 1.0, buzz has some limitations; it does not reserve rooms, and while you can download events, it's not a personal calendar. But if you're looking for something to do on campus and beyond buzz is where you should check first.
