Email is a primary means of communications used by today’s students. It is becoming an ubiquitous media for getting important messages delivered. That’s why the UA, headed by Matt Sternberg and Faye Cheng in coordination with the Student Technology Advisory Board, have successfully lobbied the University to implement a grade email notification system in Penn InTouch in time for fall semester grade postings. This means no more need to anxiously check your grades over winter break!
