Tufts Virtual Innovation & Entrepreneurship Open House – Admitted students event

Come meet our student innovators and entrepreneurs at the Tufts Innovation and Entrepreneurship Open House!

You will meet current freshmen who can tell you what it’s really like to be a Tufts student; students in our three minor programs who can tell you all about our classes, clubs and activities; and faculty and staff who can share how we help you embrace an entrepreneurial mindset and skillset. You will also learn about the MS in Innovation & Management program, an exciting graduate degree option that any Tufts undergraduate student can apply to join – earning both your bachelor’s & master’s in just 5 years with guaranteed scholarships and other benefits.

This event is hosted on Gather, a platform where you can navigate a digital world with custom rooms and interactive spaces. Stop by booths to learn more about our academic programs, co-curricular activities, and ways to ignite your entrepreneurial spirit. Get to know other members of the incoming Class of 2025. Participate in our networking activity and be entered into a raffle where you could win a $25 virtual gift card. Enjoy private small-group chats in “carpeted” areas. Move around, meet people and have fun!

Quick instructions

Navigation within Gather

Our I&E open house on Gather.town is a two-dimensional virtual world. When you enter the world you will choose an avatar, then you will be able to move about using the arrow keys on your keyboard.

Interacting with posters and videos

Within the virtual world, there are virtual posters and videos that provide information about specific topics of interest. Press X to view the poster or video. Press X again to cancel.

Talking to humans

When you get close to another person’s avatar, their video will appear on top of your Gather window and you can talk to them via video chat. You can overhear other people’s conversations if you are close to them- except when you enter a private area where you will only hear people who are also in that area.
