Thursday, February 16, 2006

University Park, Pa. -- For the second year in a row, students from the College of Communications plan to take a classroom assignment from conception to reality and provide live streaming audio and video coverage of the 2006 IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon.

In addition, Penn State Public Broadcasting will stream its Thon coverage from 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 17, through 7 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 19, at both its home site of http://www.wpsu.org and on Penn State Live at http://live.psu.edu/ online.

WPSU also will air its video feed on Penn State University Park campus' cable Channel 9 for those who receive the campus cable system.

The 48-hour event, known to most simply as 'Thon,' is believed to be the largest student-run philanthropy in the world. This year's marathon runs from 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 17, until 7 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 19, in Rec Hall on the University Park campus.
