Penn's free eCard site, courtesy of the Business Services Division, has made sending holiday or greeting cards a lot quicker and easier. At www.upenn.edu/ecard, visitors can select from a variety of cards perfect for almost every occasion. The cards are sent via email and can be addressed to 100 recipients at a time.

Established in 2004, Penn Leads the Vote (PLTV) is a group that works to get students of all political stripes to show up at the polls on Election Day. In 2008, Penn undergraduates achieved more than an 89 percent turnout at the polls. This year, PLTV has already registered more than 840 students on campus. 

The University has created a digital Global Activities Registry to collect information about worldwide Penn initiatives, with the ultimate goal of making pre-travel planning, scholarly collaboration, tracking and emergency notification easier to manage.
