Penn State Yammer Network

Learn about this University-supported enterprise social network service that allows for private communication within an organization.

Yammer is a University-supported enterprise social network service that allows for private communication within an organization. Its familiar interface and overall ease-of-use facilitates communication amongst groups, helps to break down organizational barriers, and allows for increased visibility within the greater organization. The goal of this network is to provide a collaborative environment for you to connect with people from across the University community and share meaningful information. Some of the uses of Yammer include collaborating on team projects, getting updates on what others are working on, asking questions, sharing ideas, receiving feedback, creating and editing content, and planning events. These uses are made possible by a number of the key features of the Yammer platform, detailed in Why Yammer at Penn State.

Penn State's Yammer Network is available to anyone with a PSU Access ID. For more information about how Yammer might be used in your course or department, please contact the RIIT Group.
