The road to $2,344,500 begins
The university officially kicked off its annual United Way
Campaign for Central Maryland on Sept. 27 with a ceremony at
Homewood's Shriver Hall that featured food, cheer and
inspirational speeches.
The theme for the six-week campaign is "Make
Your Caring Count," and this year's three chairs have set a
combined Hopkins goal of $2,344,500. The money raised will
support more than 250 human service programs that seek to improve
people's lives in Baltimore City and the five surrounding
counties.

Faculty reps get view of JHU
budget
As the leaves begin to change their hues and the Major League
Baseball playoffs commence, a slightly lesser known sign of fall
approaches: the first meeting of the Faculty Budget Advisory
Committee, Hopkins' longstanding economic-state-of-the-university
forum.
Founded in the 1970s, the FBAC was established
to give faculty a vehicle to learn about the financial condition
of the university and issues that impact the Johns Hopkins
workplace. In past ears, committee members have listened to
talks from senior level administration on topics that have
included endowment, administrative costs, grant management and
how faculty salaries at JHU compare to those at peer schools.

Hopkins Docs Prescribe Brain TLC in
Consumer Books
Though neuroscientists may be known in the academic
community for the specialized, highly technical writing they
do for presentations and journals, some also have a talent
for translating their knowledge of the brain into readable,
useful consumer tomes. By coincidence, two Johns Hopkins
faculty members have recently released general-audience
books that have as their focus the care and maintenance of
the brain.
Guy McKhann, a professor in the Zanvyl
Krieger Mind/Brain Institute, collaborated with his wife,
Harvard neurologist Marilyn Albert, to write Keep Your
Brain Young: The Complete Guide to Physical and Emotional
Health and Longevity; David Buchholz, an associate
professor of neurology in the School of Medicine, is the
author of Heal Your Headache: The 1-2-3 Program for
Taking Charge of Your Pain.
