Interfaith Center Opens

Students of all faiths were among those who gathered in May to celebrate the opening of the Bunting-Meyerhoff Interfaith and Community Service Center, housed in the former A. W. Wilson United Methodist Church across Charles Street from the Homewood campus. Extensive renovation has provided for the varied needs of the campus's 20 religious organizations. Major funding came from civic leaders and Hopkins trustees Harvey Meyerhoff and George Bunting, together with Mr. Bunting's wife, Anne.

    Range of Festivities Sends off Students

    Over the summer, Hopkins alumni chapters across the country--and even overseas--fted new and returning students at send-off festivities.
