Students to be in city's promo film

The Philadelphia Visitors and Convention Bureau, in conjunction with NFL Films, will be filming a promotional video on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art today. The video is being made "in order to let people know that this is a wonderful college town," said University spokesperson Barbara Beck. Beck added that there are about 87 colleges in the region, and many – including Villanova and Temple universities, Rosemont and Bryn Mawr college, Pennsylvania State University and the University – will be represented in the video with students wearing their respective sweatshirts. "Every city has one of these things," Beck said. "It's how they make money [and] how they attract visitors to come to their city." The filming will take place at 10 a.m. – Daniel Gingiss
