Rice Center focuses on restoring wetlands
Halfway between Richmond and Williamsburg, where Kimages Creek flows into the James River, lies the Inger and Walter Rice Center for Environmental Life Sciences. A restoration project aims to return the area to its original state as a wetland. The project began by removing a dam that had been blocking the flow of Kimages Creek since 1927

Physical Activity to Help Students Perform Better in the Classroom
This literature review evaluates how physical activity can improve student academic performance. Articles from the last decade provide strong evidence students, given access to physical activity, show improved academic performance. Physical activity improves the brain\u27s functioning and different kinds of physical activity impact cognitive performance. Researchers acknowledged a strong correlation between physical activity and the development of overall wellness and academic confidence. Research also shows students with learning and cognitive disabilities benefit academically and behaviorally from physical activity. Physical activity is an essential element of the development of children and adolescents

A Second Life: The adaptation of dying Italian towns to accommodate immigrants and refugees
Despite its efforts in historic preservation, there is an abundance of culturally significant Italian vernacular towns dying due to dilapidation and depopulation. Simultaneously, Italy has faced an ongoing stream of immigrants and refugees seeking work, housing, and asylum within its borders—a crisis that has resulted in Italian fear and animosity aside immigrant maltreatment and hardship. My research, which is supplemented by first-hand experience in Italy, qualitative analysis, and text sources, proposes interventions into dying Italian towns to aid in the resettlement of immigrants and refugees—an effort meant to be mutually beneficial to both the town and the immigrant. In my research, I consider and work to understand the social, political, and historical issues surrounding immigration in Italy. Understanding these issues along with the concepts of placemaking build a frame through which to assess whether a town may work for resettlement and how involved intervention should be. In the end, it can be determined which typologies of towns work better for resettlement because of topography and proximities. This research also expresses the importance of individuality in placemaking, placing ‘adaptability’ as an important value when creating unique frameworks suited to a myriad of cultures. Intervention must be just as adaptable to the individual’s needs as it must be adaptable to the varying built conditions it functions within
