Penn Today is the main news hub for the university, run out of the central communications office, and features faculty, staff, and student profiles and feature stories; research updates; and the latest events and sports scores. We tell stories that shape Penn’s public perception and reinforce strategic objectives; and educate, entertain, and inform anyone who shares Penn’s passions.
From the Judges
The decision to build this site out as an owned news channel distinguishes it from others. It performs well on mobile, is consistent with the Penn brand, and employs a disciplined tagging taxonomy. This isn't a flashy execution of an institutional news site, but there is attention to detail across all aspects of usability and performance that is often missing from higher education news portals.
