Events Widget

The 'College Event' content type can be used to add events in T4.
How to configure an Events section

You can add a widget, showing up to 3 upcoming events to your home page.  The 'SEE ALL EVENTS' link expects your events section to be a sub-section of the page containing the widget, so if you followed the recommended instructions for creating an Events section, adding this to your homepage will work perfectly.
If you decide to add this to your homepage's sidebar, then your events section will need to be a sub-section of 'Sidebar'.
