Penn State Live: "Class project results in Thon Webcast
Thursday, February 17, 2005


University Park, Pa. -- What began as a class project has become a reality that will allow thousands who are unable to attend the 2005 Penn State Interfraternity/Panhellenic Council Dance Marathon (Thon) to view the 48-hour philanthropic event online.

From the launch of the 33rd annual Thon at 7 p.m. Friday, Feb 18, to the final moments at 7 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 20, telecommunications students from Penn State�s College of Communications will be operating multiple cameras inside Rec Hall to provide continuous footage which will be streamed live at http://www.thon.org on the Web, and it�s largely thanks to the work of six students in Communications 487, Telecommunications Management, with instructor Kerrie Carfagno."
