Is the subject of an e-mail I received in my inbox today. It seems the marketing department has been busy over the holiday break. Apparently, Wharton has finally decided to update their alumni connection site by adding some social networking features and basic user interaction improvements (details here). This is a cause célèbre, because it means at least one part of Penn has finally decided to enter the 21st century. Who knows what it’ll look like, but I imagine it has to be better than the previous Wharton Connect - which was so useful, I visited once, registered and promptly forgot my user name and password. Luckily, my life has not been impacted too terribly despite those turn of events.
Now if only Penn would do something for their Alumni Connections site so that it could finally graduate from the short bus.
