Pennsylvania State University issued the following announcement on Oct. 28.

A modern look and feel, and a new web address, will meet visitors to the Penn State News website beginning Oct. 28. Penn State News is the official news source for the University, serving millions of readers annually with stories that highlight the University’s impact in the world, celebrate our community, and keep all Penn Staters informed about critical University priorities and initiatives.

Penn State News, available at https://www.psu.edu/news/, now shares navigation with the University’s main website, to provide readers with a seamless experience.

The visual updates also extend to Penn State Today, the University’s flagship daily email publication for all students, faculty and staff. More than 40 additional Penn State Headlines email publications for campus and college communities, and others, also will feature a new look. Subscribers will note the change as new issues arrive in inboxes after Oct. 28.
