Abstract/Contents

Abstract: Virtual U is based on an underlying model that mimics actual conditions in real universities across
the United States and was conceived and designed by Dr. William F. Massy, former Stanford
University professor and vice president for finance and current president of the Jackson Hole
Higher Education Group. Enlight Software of Hong Kong, a leading simulation software developer,
contributed its expertise on creating a holistic simulation design and did all of the hands-on
programming, artwork, and software construction. Dr. Massy’s extensive use of mathematical
models in building the Virtual U simulation, combined with real data gleaned from thousands of
colleges and universities and Enlight’s ability to create entertaining and realistic simulation
software, makes Virtual U more than a simulation. It is realistic in its approach and entertaining in
its design. The result is an environment that effectively teaches and helps administrators sharpen
their skills.
