Campus Connection: UW-Extension unveils virtual student union

Would you visit a virtual student union?

In an effort to reach out to its online student population, the University of Wisconsin-Extension is opening the doors to what it is calling a new virtual student union.

No, you canĂ¢??t buy beer, Babcock ice cream or bags of popcorn. But the website — which is partly a social networking site — is being promoted as “a place where students offer each other advice, discuss school-related issues, and connect with employers and faculty online.”
