Rising
Rising Why give?
More than 250,000 alumni, parents and friends have supported Johns Hopkins over the past decade, and they have at least a quarter million stories why they back the institution's efforts in education, research, patient care and public service. We delve into the motivation to give in this new series. Elena Fedyszyn, A&S '09, wants to see her alma mater thrive and grow; Adante Hart, A&S '11, says it's his duty; and Marc Sumerlin, A&S '04 (MA), believes Washington needs more AAP-trained economists. No matter the reason, thank you.
