corp/department calendar questions

[Villain]

Hello all,

I am new to setting up calendars in Exchange/Outlook, as we have
recently migrated to Exchange from another system. I am trying to
find a tutorial or guide, or any information on how to setup group
calendars that are not listed under 'public folders' and can be seen
by everyone in the company, but only updated by necessary people.

For instance, I want to create a calendar that will list all of our
holidays. A second one might be where we keep track of employee PTO
dates/times. Things of this nature.

Is there a way to do this, and have it show up as part of everyone's
default mail view, as opposed to having to go to 'Folder List' > 'All
Folders' > 'Public Folders' > 'Shared Folders' > 'Shared Calendar'?

any help would be appreciated.

It would be best to create such calendars in the Public Fodlers hierarchy.

Is there a way to do this, and have it show up as part of everyone's
default mail view

No, the Mail view shows only mail folders. Show the users how to add folders to Publiic Folders\Favorites.
