MANCHESTER, N.H. – In 2011-12, the Southern New Hampshire University athletic department brings fans of the Penmen even more ways than ever to keep up with what's going on.  While the centerpiece of SNHU athletics news will continue to be the official athletics website, located at www.snhupenmen.com, there are a variety of social media and other platforms with which to follow Penmen athletics.

The newest addition to SNHU athletics is eScores, provided by Stretch Internet and launched this summer.  eScores is a free instant messaging service that allows you to receive scores, news and other information from SNHU athletics. You choose what categories or sports you're interested in and how you want to receive the information (via e-mail, text message or both).  Please note that regular text message rates apply, check with your cellular provider.

Twitter

SNHU was one of the first athletic departments in the Northeast-10 Conference to utilize Twitter, and @snhupenmen has amassed more than 500 followers since launching in January, 2009.  Scores and results, as well as other Penmen news, is regularly Tweeted.

Facebook

The SNHU athletics Facebook page is perhaps the department's most unique medium.  In addition to posting releases and scores, several “Facebook-only” features are available on the page, including “Trivia Tuesday”, where fans of the page can answer trivia questions for prizes.  Another popular feature is “Throwback Thursday”, where old SNHU athletics photos are posted.  In  addition, many other news items and notes that don't appear anywhere else are on the Facebook page.

YouTube

SNHU athletics will be bringing fans even more videos in 2011-12.  Videos are available through the SNHU Athletics YouTube channel as well as on the website.  In addition to postgame interviews, highlights and season previews, other special video features will be launching this year, so be on the lookout.
