Announcing the 2009 edition of the College Fair in Second Life

Oct 24 (Saturday) 5pm to 9pm SLT and
Oct 25 (Sunday) 5am to 10am SLT

A college fair in Second Life is very much like a college fair in real life. It is an opportunity for college and university representatives to meet with prospective students to share information. The virtual environment allows students and representatives from all over the world to interact with one another--and no one needs to leave home!
College representatives will set up booths at the fair location.  This is an opportunity to connect with a global audience to promote your school! It is also a chance to network with other educators who are exploring Second Life as an educational tool.
