Most of you following this blog are somewhere in the beginning of your graduate public health journey.
The following are photos of students on the other side of that journey.
This could be you one day!

Do you know where this is?
I’ll give you a hint, it’s the atrium above my favorite room in the Wolfe Street building.
Or rather, one of two favorite rooms.
The North and South Reading Rooms
In 2004, the School of Public Health opened a 200,000-square-foot expansion of the Wolfe Street Building. This new wing included amenities we now take for granted: a coffee shop, the fitness center, the auditorium, new offices and laboratories.
Also included in the expansion were two identical reading rooms, each 2,700 square feet with four-story atriums allowing natural light to illuminate those below.
The reading rooms are a quiet place to review class notes, catch up on your reading or – ahem - edit your latest blog post.
Perhaps I’ll see you there!

It’s national Bike to Work Day!
Are you planning a two-wheel commute today? Lots of folks are. And it’s not just today. It seems more and more people are commuting by bike every day.
Prospective students often ask if Baltimore is bike-friendly. I’m afraid I can’t speak from experience. I live a fair distance outside the city and haven’t tried it. But a number of our current students ride their bikes to campus and use the sheltered bike racks located in the deans’ garage under the Wolfe Street Building (accessible from Washington Street).
An unofficial poll of these students confirms that Baltimore is better than many cities at making room for our two-wheeled friends. And there are plans for making it even better!
But don’t take my word for it. Check out these resources.
