Change to IPFW News Release Distribution
Starting this week, IPFW is updating the way news releases are sent to media contacts. News releases will be sent as HTML emails, similar to the format of Inside IPFW.

Additional media resources can now be found on the IPFW media website, and the new Connections: A Guide to IPFW Experts is also available to the public, as well as media.
