The virtual world of Second Life has seen a host of experiences over the years, but on June 10th, the first Second Life college graduation will be held on the Second Life campus of the 150 year old Bryant & Stratton College. Approximately 40 graduates ranging in age from 25 to 45 will don their virtual cap and gown to receive their college degrees with all of the pomp and circumstance regularly witnessed in the real world, including the procession, the commencement speaker and the conferring of degrees.

Congressman Mark Kirk (R-Ill.), who has already sponsored legislation to ban access to social-networking Web sites such as MySpace and Facebook in schools and libraries, has added the virtual world "Second Life" to his list of targets.

Residents of Second Life can now become cash buyers for land and property in their virtual world.
