MyWharton (https://mywharton.wharton.upenn.edu/) provides a central location for all the information students need and makes it available on any device. The Announcements module allows you to send important messages and content to individuals or groups on MyWharton.
Announcements
The MyWharton Announcements module allows users with the correct privileges to message large groups of users at once. Most commonly, Academic Program Offices and Wharton Computing will be using this functionality. Some students who are leaders of a division-sponsored organization may have access to post Announcements. Some basic info about Announcements follows, but we recommend reviewing Pathify's knowledge base for more detailed information.
Notification settings for Announcements are controlled by the person creating them. When an announcement is posted, students may get notified via Push Notification, E-mail, or not at all, depending on the settings chosen.
Administrative Features
Administrators in MyWharton have the ability to create announcements. Select Add Announcement to create a new Announcement.
When creating an Announcement, you can add a number of additional features to your announcement:
- set an expiration date
- attach files and images
- set a scheduled post date
- specify an audience
- choose delivery channels
We recommend staying consistent with Delivery channels so that students know what to expect.
