This past winter, students, faculty and staff on Penn State's University Park campus knew instantly when weather caused a disruption in classes or campus operations through the University's PSUTXT text-messaging service. PSUTXT, which launched last August at University Park, now has expanded to include most Penn State locations. Students, faculty, staff and others now can subscribe to PSUTXT to get campus-specific emergency notices including weather alerts, campus closings, etc. sent directly to their cell phones. While individuals' phone plans may charge for receipt of text messages, subscription to the PSUTXT service is free. Subscribers also can choose to receive University Park concert information including Bryce Jordan Center concert announcements and other entertainment news; or University Park sports alerts. To sign up, visit http://newswires.psu.edu/ online and follow the instructions at the bottom of the page under the PSUTXT heading.
