Engineering kicks off dedicated Newswire service

Starting today, Penn State is introducing a dedicated Newswire service devoted to the College of Engineering. The Penn State Engineering Newswire will include the latest news, events, research, student features, and faculty and staff news in the college. The Penn State Engineering Newswire began as a pilot program in November and was tested with a small group of engineering deans, department heads and dean's office personnel. The program now has been rolled out to automatically include all current engineering faculty, staff and graduate students. As of Feb. 1, nearly 2,000 people subscribe to the free Engineering Newswire service. Those who wish to sign up for the Penn State Engineering Newswire, or any of the other Newswires offered by the University, can go to http://newswires.psu.edu/ online. In addition, the College of Engineering has its own page on the University's main news Web site, Penn State Live. Users may access this page directly by going to http://www.live.psu.edu/wire/54 online. The site also offers users an engineering-only RSS feed. To submit story ideas for consideration on the Penn State Engineering Newswire and the College of Engineering's home page, e-mail news@engr.psu.edu
