With spring comes adult softball, Little League baseball and playground basketball, among other sport activities, all of which display example of good sportsmanship -- or not. In recent years, there have been well-publicized and shocking acts of violence - from players, coaches, parents and spectators alike -- associated with sports programs at every level. For anyone involved in sport, and especially if you are coaching or parenting kids, a visit to IU's Center for Sport Policy & Conduct is a must. Center researchers investigate a variety of issues and concerns regarding sport.

"If you build it, they will come." The Lilly Arbor project has students at IUPUI building a forest in downtown Indianapolis on a one-mile stretch of the White River. This urban habitat project turned into a community effort, and since its first trees were planted in 2000, the number of bird species found in the area has gone from five to over 50.
