        <description><![CDATA[ Allen, a golden retriever and therapy dog, can often be seen roaming the halls and helping graduate students destress with a few well-needed pets. Barbara Hoopes, the associate dean of the Graduate School for the greater Washington, D.C. area, is a certified therapy dog handler and saw the need which Allen fills perfectly. “The level of stress in the graduate student’s lives is often unexpected. They may be working full-time and holding down a degree program. They may be international students that have come here and have a lot of stress in their daily lives. And so, it really is nice to know that a therapy dog can have a lot of value in the life of a graduate student,” said Hoopes. ]]></description>

        <title>Tracking kestrels in Northern Virginia</title>
        <link>https://news.vt.edu/videos/k/2024/06/1_8etuwaxh.html</link>
        <description><![CDATA[ Caylen Wolfer, a Masters of Science student at Virginia Tech, is analyzing GPS data from transmitters attached to kestrels primarily located in Fauquier and Rappahannock counties. Her work is part of the Northern Virginia Piedmont Kestrel Project that began through a collaborative effort from The Clifton Institute and Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute. The broad goal of the project is meant to inform and guide land management decisions to best help this species which has been in decline. Brett Jesmer is Wolfer’s primary advisor in the College of Natural Resources and Environment at Virginia Tech, and her work is co-supervised by The Smithsonian’s Joe Kolowski. Her master&#39;s thesis focuses on how sex, breeding stages, and habitat influence the movement of kestrels and what impact that has on breeding success. ]]></description>
