About the School

Getting to Know RSO

We invite you to take a virtual tour of the Rosenberg School of Optometry and the UIW campus via the state-of-the art social medium of Second Life (www.secondlife.com). The University of the Incarnate Word has joined 100s of universities worldwide in creating a virtual presence in this quasi-3D, international virtual world in the form of a 16 acre island named “UIW Cardinal.” When you visit the island you will see representations of the Rosenberg School of Optometry and many of the buildings on the physical campus, all set in a fanciful environment.

By exploring our campus in Second Life you can get a jump on orientation in August by becoming familiar with the look of the building and the location of key offices and facilities in the Rosenberg School of Optometry and around campus, by meeting key personnel who can answer your questions, and by having an opportunity to meet some of your fellow students. You will also gain experience in this convergent medium that is used for meetings, classes, research, and social events by universities, organizations, and businesses throughout the world.
