Title: The Bosworth Letters

URL: http://bosworthletters.vtcath.org/

Description: This project provides access to selected letters from the “Squire Bosworth Papers” collection (1848-1892), which Virginia Tech’s Special Collections recently digitized. While these documents are now available worldwide, the letters will be difficult for most people to read because they are handwritten and discuss non-contemporary topics. Therefore, this project carefully presents and transcribes selected letters from this collection.

Title: Bee-Friendly Beef

URL: https://beesandbeef.spes.vt.edu/

Description: For pollinators, pastureland represents a food desert as grasslands do not provide the pollen and nectar resources they rely on for survival. We are an interdisciplinary team from Virginia Tech, the University of Tennessee, and Virginia Working Landscapes collaborating on a multi-year project to increase habitat for pollinators in pastures. Using a seed mix designed to be nontoxic to cattle, we are integrating native wildflowers into existing pastureland in Virginia and Tennessee and will be studying their impact on local pollinator communities, cattle health, and more. This research is generously funded by the USDA NRCS Conservation Innovation Grant program and the USDA NIFA.

Title: Calvary

URL: https://zachbush.com/calvary

Description: Calvary is a 3D fictional cathedral that is viewable in a virtual reality space that is based around Christian beliefs. The goal of this space is to invite the viewer, whether a Christian or non-Christian, into this once spiritual realm and explore the area and sounds that are immersed throughout. The HTC Vive is a new way in which a person can be in a virtual space and experience God without being within a physical structure like a tabernacle or cathedral. Calvary helps connect the viewer between the real and the supernatural.
