SCRANTON, Pa., May 21 -- Penn Foster, Inc., one of the oldest and largest online learning institutions in the world, today announced it has launched "eCampus," a social networking community created specifically for current and prospective students and Penn Foster alumni.

With eCampus, students will be connected to Penn Foster like never before," stated Stuart Udell, CEO of Penn Foster. "They will see updates from our Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, and MySpace pages, alerts on job postings, and announcements regarding new program launches. Students will also be able to read our newsletters and blogs, check out new merchandise in the bookstore, and view the 2009 and 2010 virtual yearbooks. eCampus provides a whole new level of interaction among our students and alumni."
