To mark the completion of the final piece of its
teaching and research facility renovation, the
Johns Hopkins Bloomberg
School of Public Health held a rededication
ceremony and celebration on Friday, April 23. Dean Alfred
Sommer rededicated the school to its mission: protecting
health, saving lives — millions at a time.
The event featured presentations explaining the
importance of public health and the school's role in
promoting public health worldwide by William H. Gates Sr.,
co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation; Barbara
Mikulski and Paul Sarbanes, Maryland's U.S. senators; and
Michael R. Bloomberg, mayor of New York City, for whom the
school was renamed in 2001.

On Saturday, April 24, a cheerful crowd gathered at
the steps of 17 E. Mount Vernon Place to officially reopen
the Peabody
Institute after the completion of its $26.8 million
renovation. The Grand Celebration Evening was the highlight
of the nine-day Music for the World Festival, a series of
performances featuring Peabody's large ensembles, small
chamber groups, stellar Preparatory students, jazz
performers and celebrated faculty artists.
After the curtain opened to reveal the Peabody's
restored main entrance, guests were treated to a champagne
reception in the Grand Arcade before heading to Friedberg
Hall for a concert with the Peabody Symphony Orchestra and
piano faculty artist Leon Fleisher. When the standing
ovations finally simmered down, faculty, staff, students,
alumni and friends enjoyed dinner and music across the
campus. The audience was serenaded by jazz, opera, harp,
strings and vocal ensembles well into the evening hours.
The Music for the World Festival culminated on Sunday,
April 24, in a free open house where Peabody welcomed the
Baltimore community with jazz, opera cabaret, string
ensembles and guitar performances.
