UNIVERSITY PARK – Many areas of Pennsylvania already have seen the first significant snowfall of this winter season, and others saw a preview of what is to come. Soon winter will officially be here and bad weather will be playing havoc with schedules.
Other situations may arise that affect the ability of the campus — students, faculty and staff — to function normally. In those situations, it is critical that the University be able to reach as many people as possible, as quickly as possible. The PSUTXT text-messaging system is a key tool by which Penn State can communicate directly with the University community in these situations.
Don’t be caught uninformed. Sign up for PSUTXT, and have messages sent directly to a cell phone when bad weather delays or cancels classes, or if another emergency situation arises.
To register, visit the Penn state Newswire and and PSUTXT Web site and click on the “PSUTXT REGISTER” button at the bottom of the page. For information, contact Annemarie Mountz at amountz@psu.edu.
