In the late 1980s, Nichols oversaw the development of Kentland Farm, now an important research facility and home to gardens that grow some of the food for Virginia Tech dining halls. He brought Virginia Cooperative Extension back into the fold of the college and helped create the popular agricultural technology program.

Wallace, who joined Tech's biology department in 1981, became a University Distinguished Professor in 1983 and remained active until he retired in 1994. The author of more than 100 research articles and more than 15 books, he was a world-renowned pioneer in the study of the genetics of natural populations.
