University News Death
It's scary. It's mysterious. It's inevitable. Death — in one person, in whole populations — is the focus of a special issue of Johns Hopkins Public Health magazine.
Performance, Part I
Peabody junior Jennifer Nicole Campbell was one of two young Americans invited to the second Aarhus International Piano Competition in Denmark. Here she is in the first and second rounds, playing, among others, Schubert and Debussy, and Bach and Chopin. Full playlist here.
Performance, Part II
Generally, you'll see more rock stars than classical clarinetists on NBC's Today show. But Peabody Conservatory faculty artist Anthony McGill and his brother, also a prominent classical musician, are definitely cool enough for national TV.
Performance, Part III
The Homewood group Octopodes sang its way to a quarterfinal victory and is off later this month to the semifinals of a national college a cappella competition. Check out past performances on YouTube. Octopodes is also on Facebook.
Dancing for dollars
An undergraduate dance marathon raised $0.1678 per dancer per minute for the Johns Hopkins Children's Center. (We like to be precise about these things. And show you fun photos, too.) Thanks, by the way: This great event was partially funded by Alumni Association grants.
From the inside, but out
SAIS Dean Vali Nasr has a new book: The Dispensable Nation: American Foreign Policy in Retreat. It's described by the New York Times as "part diplomatic memoir, part policy analysis" from Nasr's stint in the Obama State Department. It's "sharply critical" of administration policy. Read an excerpt here.
