I believe that you could do what you want, but it would be brittle. My understanding is that the Domain Administrator has write permissions on the primary calendars of the users in that domain. So you would just have to send batch requests updates for each of the 20,500 users. I don't have first hand experience with such a large volume of updates, but my understanding is that it can be time consuming and tedious
Why not publish a single "College Calendar" with the important dates that you mention? You could then make this calendar a secondary for all accounts. This would be more programatically efficient, would be less likely to annoy your users, and would encourage them to create, and share, other secondary calendars for each class, group or activity that they were involved in? The other advantage is that when dates changed, or became finalized for next year, etc. you could just add those events to the master calendar instead of having to update 20,500 calendars.
