When their high school shifted to on-line learning, Hunter High schoolers collaborated via messaging apps to create an elaborate 3-D version of their school in the videogame Minecraft. Using images from Google Earth, a dozen seniors spent many hours building a meticulous replica of their school in the game, allowing them to retain a feeling of normalcy and ultimately to still hold online versions of social events. The students are using a myriad of technological mediums to stay connected and spend virtual time together.
UPDATE: Hunter College will resume normal in-person instruction and campus operations on Wednesday, February 25, 2026. Students should attend classes as scheduled. Employees should report to work as usual. The Hunter community should continue to monitor email and the Hunter website for any additional updates. Read more.
