Leading Donors Meet New President
JHU President Ron Daniels visits with Doris Armstrong, who served as director of nursing services at the Johns Hopkins Hospital from 1970-1976.

“In my time leading Johns Hopkins, I want to see us rededicate ourselves to serving the communities of which we are part,” said Ron Daniels, newly installed 14th president of Johns Hopkins University, to 100 guests at the 2009 School of Nursing Leadership Dinner.

Daniels addressed attendees–generous supporters of student scholarships, building funds, international opportunities, and community clinics–at Baltimore’s Radisson Lord Baltimore hotel in September.

“Johns Hopkins is not only ‘at Baltimore’ or ‘in Baltimore,’ but, we are truly and proudly ‘of Baltimore,’” he noted. “Nowhere is that more literally true than in our School of Nursing with its three community clinics that shape our students’ educational experience and provide critically important resources to some of the most underserved populations in the city.”

Phyllis Dietrich Hunt, C. Evelyn Gant Chesney, Meredith Fawcett Kooyman, and Pat Vreeland Bredenberg, share memories of the class of 1959.
