At a gala dinner on Oct. 28 in the Ralph S. O'Connor Recreation Center at Homewood, university President William R. Brody thanked a crowd of nearly 700 guests for helping Johns Hopkins surpass its initial $2 billion goal in the Knowledge for the World campaign and announced a new goal of $3.2 billion.

Among those honored at the event were Axel and Naneen Neubohn, who met as students at SAIS's Bologna Center in 1963 and were recognized for a commitment to the center's building project, and Children's Cancer Foundation president Shirley Howard, for a grant to fund the pediatric oncology inpatient unit in the new Children's Tower at The Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Peabody Conservatory classical guitarists Benjamin Beirs and Maud Laforest performed for the audience.
