A virtual commencement address and virtual diplomas will be handed out to University of Hawaii students participating in an online graduation ceremony.
The university's College of Education Department of Education Technology is organizing the graduation event in the virtual world of Second Life.
The May 6 ceremony will take place at a replica of Diamond Head Amphitheatre.
Education technology professor Peter Leong said all students in the department — those who study on-campus and online — can participate.
He said some students are planning real-life parties with families and friends that coincide with the virtual graduation.
I think it is definitely different, but there is a part of me that would still want the traditional graduation and receive an actual diploma. Something about walking into that huge arena of all those people makes the day feel larger than life, which it should from all of the hard work that is put into it.

I get a kick out of the comments above accusing others of 'misrepresenting obamacare.' How can you misrepresent something that is being made up as they go along?

The world famous Waikiki is just to the right of Diamond Head. They are on the island of O'ahu, in the city of Honolulu. The pagoda at the lower left is the Biomedical Sciences Building where we are located.
