Resources
During Prospective Visit Days, we will use a few different platforms to facilitate your virtual visit. If you have any questions about how to use them, or if you experience any unforeseen technical difficulties, please don’t hesitate to let us know!
Kumospace
Kumospace is an immersive video chat platform that allows people to mingle within a virtual event space. During Prospective Visit Days, social events will take place at the event-specific Kumospace links found on the Schedule page.
After logging in, you can move about the virtual room using your computer’s arrow keys. You will be able to hear the people close to you in the virtual space, and as you move away from them, their audio will fade out. This functionality will allow everyone to mix and mingle in different groups!
Download link? None needed! Just follow the event-specific Kumospace link, and make sure you grant Kumospace permission to access your webcam and microphone.
Slack
Slack is a digital messaging platform that allows for text-based conversations. During Prospective Visit Days, graduate students will be available on this dedicated Slack Channel.
We welcome you to stop by anytime throughout your virtual visit! We would be happy to to help you find where you need to go next, answer questions about the program, discuss life in New York City, or chat about your research interests.
