President’s Day of Service

Nearly 900 volunteers from the Johns Hopkins community turn out to give back.

Nearly 900 volunteers from the Johns Hopkins community joined President Ron Daniels and his wife, Joanne Rosen, on Saturday, Oct. 2, to collectively give back to Baltimore. Organized by the Center for Social Concern, the second President’s Day of Service-whose theme was “One Hopkins, One Baltimore”-featured more than 40 projects across the city. Volunteers painted homeless shelters, worked at soup kitchens, planted gardens, cleaned streams, mentored schoolchildren and more. The event kicked off at the O’Connor Recreation Center on the Homewood campus.
