How to Share an Outlook calendar with other people

Title: How to Share an Outlook calendar with other people 

Environment: Microsoft Outlook (Windows, Mac, or on the web) 

Note: Please consider using a Shared Mailbox/Calendar to share a calendar with co-workers instead of creating a personal calendar and sharing it with co-workers. Sharing personally created calendars with others can be problematic when the user who created the personal calendar leaves the organization and their mailbox and all personal calendars created get deleted. This results in everyone who the personal calendar was shared to loosing access to the shared calendar. To have a shared mailbox/calendar created, please click on the "Purdue IT Request" button to the right to create a ticket.
