Localist Shortcode
This shortcode ties into events.wfu.edu our localist events website and displays events based on the attributes on the shortcode. Many of our websites use this plugin to display events related to the content of that website. We also offer our University Events block for a more integrated look and feel.
UPDATE: Looks like the natural display for each of these seems off in our new theme. We should check to make sure all the css is being loaded for these and that there isn’t any non-secure styles/scripts. Also images are broken in the API shortcode so we probably need to ensure we are using https for these.
Shortcode: Localist Widget
The Localist widget shortcode ties into the basic widget building functionality localist provides. It comes wrapped with html and has very little ability to change the html structure.
- num (number of events)
- days
Shortcode
[ wfu_localist_widget num=10 days=30 ]

Shortcode: Localist API
The Localist API shortcode has more parameters and can return a more custom set of events returned in json format allowing the html display of the events to be controlled on our end.
- pp or num (number of events)
- days
Shortcode
[ wfu_localist_api pp=10 days=30 ] or [ wfu_localist_api num=10 days=30 ]

Employee engagement studies, conducted by Gallup, consistently show on average in the U.S. only 33% of workers are highly engaged. Results from these studies find that authentic, inspirational leaders who provide their people a sense of purpose, invest time in developing their people, and approach leadership from a “coach” perspective versus a directive top-down boss, greatly enhance employee engagement and team performance. Thus, the key to high team performance and employee engagement is authentic and effective leadership.
This 1-day program will provide the participant with the foundation of authentic and effective leadership, while exploring who the leader is as a person. Fully understanding the factors driving behavior enhances leadership authenticity, assists in building trust with others, increases leader effectiveness, and contributes to personal fulfillment and team performance.
During this session, participants will immediately apply the learnings to developing a personal leadership plan, resulting in:
- Increased self-awareness regarding how purpose, values, and mindset influence leader behavior
- Clarity and understanding of a unique leadership style fitting an individual’s values, purpose, and personality
- The ability to effectively manage oneself and connect with others
- Enhanced authenticity and effectiveness through the creation of a leadership philosophy
- The application of various forms of leadership behavior to achieve optimal personal and professional performance

This exhibition highlights the global significance of archery, focusing on its traditional uses across cultures. From hunting tools and weapons of war to ceremonial objects and artistic works, the bow and arrow occupy many roles in cultures around the world. The objects on display reveal how materials, environments, and values have shaped distinct archery traditions that continue to be a part of cultural identities today. Through these artifacts, the exhibition highlights the enduring legacy and diversity of this ancient technology. Admission is free.
Many objects in museum collections around the world were taken unethically from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in Australia. Though some objects have been returned in order to address colonial histories and honor cultural practices today, neither museums nor indigenous communities are able to repatriate everything--nor do they want to. Featuring Aboriginal objects and highlighting the Lam Museum’s experience attempting repatriation but ultimately not enacting it, the exhibit raises important questions for the future of cross-cultural exhibits: Who has the right to hold, display, or interpret these objects? And how can museums protect cultural heritage when return isn't possible? Admission is free.
