Hopkins 4K for Cancer cyclists head out on 4,000-mile
journey
In May 2002, 18 Johns Hopkins students jumped on their
bicycles in Baltimore to pedal across America to raise
money for cancer research and awareness for the disease's
prevention. Their journey, dubbed Hopkins 4K for Cancer,
has become an annual tradition, so far bringing in $276,000
through donations and sale of Hopkins 4K merchandise.
This year's group of 20 riders set off from Homewood's
Shriver Hall at 7:30 a.m. on Sunday, May 28, heading first
to the Inner Harbor to ceremoniously dip their bikes' back
tires in the water before embarking on their 4,000-mile
coast-to-coast trip. The journey is scheduled to end on
July 30 at the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Upon
their arrival on the West Coast, the students will dip
their bikes' front tires in the water.
To date, this year's fundraising effort has netted
more than $70,000 for the American Cancer Society's Hope
Lodge, a residence for out-of-town cancer patients seeking
treatment at Baltimore hospitals.

mission, and to follow its journey, go to www.hopkins4k.org.
Former School of Nursing dean to join Emory
faculty
Sue K. Donaldson, professor and former dean of the
Johns Hopkins School of
Nursing, has been named an Emory University
Distinguished Professor of Nursing and Interdisciplinary
Science, with a primary tenured appointment in the Nell
Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing and a secondary
appointment with a research laboratory in the Department of
Physiology, School of Medicine. Her appointment begins July
1.
On announcing her appointment and subsequent
departure, Donaldson wrote to friends and colleagues at the
JHU School of Nursing, "I am thrilled to have this
opportunity to join such a distinguished institution and
faculty. ... I will be facilitating and developing
interdisciplinary science programs across university
divisions as well as heading up the initiative entitled
'Transforming Nursing's Engagement in Science' specifically
for the NHWSoN."
Donaldson was the second dean of the Johns Hopkins
School of Nursing, serving from 1994 to 2001. In the press
release announcing her decision to step down from that
post, it was noted that among her accomplishments was the
creation of the infrastructure needed to support the
developing research program of the faculty and the
implementation of the school's first doctoral programs.
