Feb. 22 marked the date that Penn State was founded in 1855 as a publicly

that had not yet been served by higher education.
Just as the Emergency Broadcast System periodically runs tests on radio
and television stations, Penn State plans to test the PSUTXT
text-messaging system to help ensure its functionality in a true
emergency. At 1 p.m. on Feb. 23, PSUTXT administrators from each campus
will log into the system and send a message that will be marked clearly
as a test.
"Testing the system like this does a number of things," explained
Annemarie Mountz, assistant director of Public Information.
