Point.Princeton.edu, a new website featuring a list of weekly campus events as well as additional services, will be available to University students starting Wednesday.
The new site will advertise student group events as well as departmental lectures, speakers and programs.
USG President Matt Margolin '05 said the Projects Board gives money to fund many events that would be more successful with better publicity.
The site will list the most important events as well as rank the eight most popular ones.
The University maintains a similar site, calendar.Princeton.edu, which Margolin said was difficult to use.
"The [new] site is very organized and very self explanatory," Margolin said.
Students can also customize the site to show events pertinent to their interests. In addition, more science-related events will be posted.
The site will include links to the University homepage, The Daily Princetonian, The New York Times and Princeton webmail as well as other academic links.
Other features will include a Dinky schedule, weather report, information on activities at the Street and the residential colleges, movie times and restaurant reviews.
Margolin said he hopes students will use the new site as their homepage.
Point will also replace the old Salesline and Bookline links on the USG website, and Margolin said the group plans to add an online auction page as well.
A major feature of the site will be its ease of use for campus groups, which will be able to independently post information on events they plan to hold.
