GatherTown Virtual Keller Center

Some of our networking events will be held in GatherTown, a unique video-conferencing platform that simulates an in-person environment (similar to a role playing game or “RPG”) where you can move around and interact with different people and even play games. The layout of the virtual building was designed by Bradley McCandless, MPP'22, to replicate the layout of the Keller Center and The Pub at UChicago.
