About

The Interactive Media Group (IMG) is the newly formed undergraduate club for all things digital

Penn’s newest organization, the Interactive Media Group is a vibrant undergraduate community at the University of Pennsylvania that brings students together to discuss and connect with the world of new media, web 2.0, and technology. IMG represents a fresh approach to student organizations by bringing together professors, students and alumni from Wharton, Penn Engineering, the College and Annenberg to learn and share their knowledge about all things digital.

If you’re interested in how social networks like Twitter and Facebook are changing the playing field, how traditional media is transitioning to digital, or are interested in tech entrepreneurship, this is the place for you. IMG’s mission is to connect students to professionals in the new media space through career fairs, trips, and events.
