April 9 GSAS Event on Gathertown Virtual Social Platform

6-8pm, Multicultural and International Grad Night Hosted by Grad Fellows and Grad Student Groups

GSAS is hosting a Student Meetup on the interactive virtual platform GatherTown where you can move your avatar around, interact with other participants, and get to know students coming to Yale and meet current Yale grad students and student group leaderst! This is a great opportunity to socialize, network and find new friends, msybe even roommates!

Through GatherTown you can socialize with other Yale prospective or continuing grad students l.

  • First, go in and set up a GatherTown account with your name. Then you can decorate and design your avatar. Take a brief tutorial, if you want. Then you are all set!
  • Next enter the GSAS Multicultural & International Grad Student Gathertown event (URL to be provided after registration), where you will see lots of tables and chairs divided into different areas for interaction. You can move your avatar around to visit different areas, browse a few booths with student clubs or groups, and talk to other people on video in groups or individually (it’s not zoom!) Some tables will have basic intro question sheets to get conversations started, then it’s up to you.
  •  If you enter a “private zone” you will be asked if you want to turn on your camera to interact with the people in the same “private zone” as you. Also, if you get close to the person you would like to talk with, it will ask if you want to call the person, and a video chat box will open.

Here is a video for a glimpse of what GatherTown looks like .https://gather.town/images/site/landing_demo.mp4
