Penngineer Uses Powers For Good

Engineering student Kevin Conley recently received a shoutout in the Wall Street Journal for a super-cool app he produced in a recent hackathon.  The app, SMS PersonFinder, can help people in a disaster area look for and provide information about missing people through their cell phones.  Conley's app works with a service provided by Google called Google Person Finder and has been praised by Google representatives.

According to the article, Conley's goal is to build an app "not to make a million dollars, but to help people”.  It's awesome to see a Penngineer using his powers for good, rather than evil.
