An evening with Diane Rehm Event


Diane Rehm

National Public Radio talk show host and author Diane Rehm will be the guest of honor at a benefit for the Baltimore Albert Schweitzer Fellowship Program on Friday, April 1, in Hodson Hall Auditorium on the Homewood campus. A reception begins at 6 p.m. and will be followed by a conversation with Rehm.

The Albert Schweitzer Fellowship Program aids graduate students and develops programs to serve Baltimore's vulnerable populations. Now in its sixth year, it has served 40-plus community-based organizations with more than 75 fellows from Johns Hopkins' schools of Public Health, Medicine and Nursing; the University of Maryland's schools of Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Social Work and Law; Morgan State University; and the College of Notre Dame's Geriatric Program. Fellows create their own projects and volunteer more than 200 hours during the course of the year.

The evening is sponsored by the Maryland Home and Community Care Foundation and others.

Tickets are $75; $25 for students. For reservations, contact Lee Bone at 410-955-6887 or lbone@jhsph.edu.
