Happy Hollidays

Just wanted to wish everyone out there a safe and happy holidays from all of us at the Division of Continuing Studies here at Rutgers University.

Sacred Art in a Virtual World

The new Museum of Sacred Art (Bieup (207, 42, 106) will open on Monday, December 14, 2009 at 2:00 pm Eastern Time (11:00 am SLT). The museum represents a permanent home for the exhibition "Sacred Art in a Virtual World" that ran from February to October. The purpose of the exhibition was to evaluate the value of virtual buildings for the teaching of art history. The exhibition includes notecards allowing the visitor to tp to buildings, guide them through the building, and then return them to the museum to move on to the next exhibit.

Rutgers students in the Department of Art History worked on the original exhibition as well as the new museum.

Rutgers Day 2010

Rutgers Day 2009 was the first year showing the Rutgers Second Life space to the real world Rutgers community. We had the virtual ringing of the Rutgers Bell at Old Queens, and a Second Life lab space on Voorhees Mall. In the coming event we expect to have the same set up with even more to show, and interact with. Rutgers Day is a great opportunity to experience one unified Rutgers University in real life and in our virtual lives.

Our proposals for the event are officially submitted. The hard work to pull off a great event has officially begun. See you all there in real life and virtual life.
