Woodbury University, in Burbank Calif., is greasing the wheels for the return of the Woodbury campus in Second Life.
At a conference this past weekend at Stanford University on virtual worlds, Jordan Bellino, a senior at the university, and Susanna Hendy, an instructor there, told this reporter that they traveled to Northern California not only to attend the conference but also to chat with representatives from Linden Lab, the San Francisco operator of Second Life, in order to urge them to allow Woodbury to have an island in Second Life at the discounted price reserved for educational institutions.
In June, Linden Lab yanked the Woodbury campus from its servers, accusing avatars there of harassment. —Andrea L. Foster
