Readers for Elementary School Students

Volunteers are needed to read to students at William Paca Elementary School in East Baltimore, as part of Black History Month, at 8:30 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 25. Reading materials and transportation from the East Baltimore medical campus will be provided. To volunteer, call Elana Omari at 410-614-0744 or e-mail omariam@jhmi.edu.

 

Language Tutors Needed

The Johns Hopkins International Society is expanding its language tutoring program to provide not only a list of English tutors but of tutors for other languages, as well. The program is informal, less a teacher-student arrangement and more an exchange between tutor and student. Tutors are needed who can speak any language and would like to help, on a one-to-one basis, intermediate learners improve their language skills and/or teach new students. JHIS will be the point of contact.

To volunteer, contact Erin McAlister, the JHIS coordinator, at internationalsociety@jhmi.edu. Provide name, contact information, home country, language(s) the volunteer would like to tutor, times available and the levels offered (beginner, intermediate or advanced).

 

Potluck Lunches for International Spouses

The Johns Hopkins International Society hosts a monthly potluck lunch designed for spouses of Hopkins' international affiliates to meet others in the area. Children are welcome. Each person brings a dish to share with everyone. It can be a main dish, appetizer, dessert or snack. It is not necessary to bring a homemade dish, though many people do.

The lunches take place on the First Tuesday of each month, unless there is a holiday or related event on the Monday before the first Tuesday.

The next lunch is March 1, from 12:30 to 2:15 p.m. in the Reed Hall small conference room. For more information, e-mail internationalsociety@jhmi.edu.

 

CLF Predoctoral Fellowship Program

The Center for a Livable Future announces the third year of funding for its predoctoral fellowship program. These fellowships support students who are committed to the discovery and/or application of knowledge about the environmental, economic, social and health impacts of industrial animal production practices in the United States and abroad.

Students are eligible to apply for support during any stage of their Ph.D., Sc.D. or Dr.P.H. program, including the time when they are applying to a doctoral program.

Each fellowship provides one year of support in an amount up to $50,000 to be used for tuition, stipend and/or research expenses depending on individual needs. Applications are due March 15. The awards will be announced on May 2. For application details, go to www.jhsph.edu/environment.
