“We look like no place else. We act like no place else. And we achieve like no place else. That is thanks to our people, who are like no other. People like Paul Bukaveckas, at the VCU Rice Rivers Center, who is working on three continents to give people the clean water they need.”
The center is an ideal location for experts and students to learn. Our discoveries help solve resource management issues at home and abroad. We focus on freshwater research because it exemplifies the critical link between environmental and public health. New facilities are coming, which will grow our research and our reach. Join us in our quest to build a sustainable future.
