    That's not just any university--that's ACU (go wildcats)! In fact, I was working at the copy shop and made the copies for the original proposal of the initiative. I also attended the conference they held last year to share research about the program. If you're interested, just let me know and I can talk about what they had to say at the conference.

    Although often seen as an inconsequential feature of digital technologies, one's self-representation, or avatar, in a virtual environment can affect the user's thoughts, according to research by a University of Texas at Austin communication professor.
