Students, faculty and staff enjoyed in-world refreshments and lively conversation with President Caret in Braman Hall on the Towson Innovation Lab island in SL Thursday 2 April 3:30-4:30pm.

Questions included: concern for increased tuition rates, the method for determining a snow closure of the university and its impact on commuter students, would the University support a design collective at TU similar to the one a SCAD, and thanks from students for the recycle-all program and extended TU shuttle service.
Reporters from the Towerlight and Baltimore Sun were present for the event.
