Santa Clara University School of Law is holding an open house in the virtual world of Second Life today.
Visitors to Second Life, an Internet-based universe where users create characters and interact in virtual, user-created locations, will travel virtually to Santa Clara Island to see the school.
The event is designed to attract potential students and emphasize the law school’s close ties with the technology industry in the Silicon Valley area of California.
Hosting the two-hour event, that begins at 6 pm PST, time is Jeanette Leach, dean of admissions. She will attend as her own self-created avatar, Penny Canucci. Second Life residents can tour the school and see a video of Dean Donald Polden as himself, not an avatar. Visitors also can ask admissions staff questions and get information about applying to the school.
Second Life was created in 2003, and enables its “residents” to socialize, and to buy and sell virtual property for real cash as avatars.
Second Life. Also this.
