Looking back and looking ahead
With this issue, JHUpdate completes 10 years of keeping you posted on the latest about your Johns Hopkins University. We've come a long way. That first issue in August 2001 — covering construction on the Beach at Homewood, cool student research projects and the public health impact of restrictions on teen driving — was sent in plain text and went to a relatively small alumni email list. Since then, the mailing list has grown to almost 73,000 and we've revamped the format several times, with the latest being revealed this issue. We hope you like the new look, which is cleaner, more readable and, logically enough, presented in Johns Hopkins blue. (Why'd it take us 10 years to think of that?) But no matter what JHUpdate looks like, its purpose is the same: to provide a quick and breezy overview of information you want and news you can use, and to give you links to web pages with more details. As always, we want to know what you think. Contact us at jhupdate@jhu.edu. |
