Bernard T. “Bernie” Ferrari, an accomplished corporate strategist and management consultant to Fortune 50 companies, has been named

the next dean of The Johns Hopkins University’s Carey Business School. Ferrari, whose appointment is effec-tive July 1, is the second dean to lead the Carey Business School since it was established in 2007. He succeeds Yash P. Gupta, who stepped down in June 2011. Ferrari, 63, is a former director at the global management consulting firm McKinsey & Co., where he spent nearly two decades as a partner and senior health care consultant. He led McKin-sey’s health care and North Ameri-can corporate strategy practices. After retiring from McKinsey in 2008, Fer-rari founded the Ferrari Consultancy, where he currently serves as chairman. The consultancy supports clients in the financial services, transportation, energy, medical products, aviation and heavy equipment manufacturing sectors, and consults with clients on their busi-ness strategies.

The Gazette

The university and Johns Hopkins Medicine will honor a transfor-mative leader today and look

toward the future at a daylong confer-ence titled Moving Academic Medicine Forward, held in honor of Edward D.

Miller, the longtime dean of the medical faculty and CEO of Johns Hopkins Medicine. Miller will step down from his post on June 30, end-ing a distinguished 15-year tenure. The event will

feature many prominent national health leaders and Johns Hopkins senior offi-cials, who will consider the future of academic medicine in terms of patient care, education and research. Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, will give a keynote address on the future of American health care, with an introduction and speech by U.S. Sen. Ben Cardin of Maryland. Sebelius is expected to share her thoughts on the unique role that academic medical cen-ters can play in the needed transforma-tion of the American health care system. Miller, the man of the hour, will book-end the event. A video tribute to the dean will kick off the conference, and Miller will give the event’s closing remarks. Miller joined Johns Hopkins in March 1994 to serve as director of Anesthe-siology and Critical Care Medicine at the School of Medicine. Just two years later, he was tapped to serve as interim dean of the medical faculty and vice president for medicine. Daniel Nathans, then interim university president, saw Miller—who had distinguished himself as a surgeon, researcher, educator and administrator—as uniquely qualified to guide Johns Hopkins through a period of change and challenge in academic medicine. At the time, the growing mar-ket power of managed care organizations

JHU finance offices, some shared service centers moving to Keswick

The Johns Hopkins University finance offices and several financial shared service centers that are now located at

Johns Hopkins at Eastern will be moving over the summer to Johns Hopkins at Keswick. Two of the four shared service centers—Accounts Receivable and Sponsored Proj-ects—will be relocating between Aug. 16 and 19; Accounts Payable and Purchasing will move between Aug. 23 and 26. The following JHU finance offices will be relocating between Aug. 16 and 19: Vice President for Financial Planning and Analy-sis, Controller, Financial Systems Adminis-tration, General Accounting, International Business, Cost Analysis, Capital Financ-ing/Debt Management/Treasury Operations, Cash Accounting and Budget. The Student Loan, University Administration Business, Risk Management and Tax offices will move between Aug. 23 and 26. Anyone planning to visit those offices dur-ing the transition period is advised to check the Controller’s Office or shared services websites for updated information or call in advance to verify the correct location. The new offices are served by the Kes-wick-Homewood-Eastern-JHMI shuttle; the route map is available online at parking.jhu .edu/shuttles_keswick_connector.html. The Human Resources/Payroll shared ser-vice center and the JHU Benefits Office will remain at the Eastern location.

Amazing Race: Run, walk and get to know JHU

As part of the Healthy@Hopkins ini-tiative, the Office of Benefits Ser-vices has launched the Amazing

JHU Race, a Web-based program where university employees can log fitness miles (walk, jog or run) to earn prizes and learn more about Johns Hopkins’ work in the United States and around the globe. The race is an outgrowth of the Benefits Advi-sory Committee’s “Get Smart” educational campaign, which will highlight a different benefit program each month. Starting today, employees can track their miles by logging onto benefits.jhu.edu/secure/amazing_jhu_race with a JHED ID and password. The site features a world map with nine JHU–affiliated locations, including the Peabody’s presence at Abbey Road Studios in London; the Apache Point Observatory in New Mexico, home to the Sloan Digital Sky Survey run in collabora-tion with the Krieger School’s Physics and Astronomy Department; and the SAIS-affil-iated campus in Nanjing, China. The miles logged collectively will unlock the destina-tions, which feature short videos describing the school’s presence in the area. Benefits Services will make weekly

Homewood Museum to offer docent training in July

Interested in history, architecture or dec-orative arts? Become a tour guide at the university’s Homewood Museum, a

National Historic Landmark. Homewood was built in 1801 as the summer home of Charles Carroll Jr. and remains one of the finest examples of Federal-era architecture. Docent training classes will be held at the museum from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on July 17, 19, 24, 26 and 31. Volunteers who success-fully complete the training will be expected to commit to working a minimum of four hours a month. Training will include lectures and readings on Baltimore in the Federal era, Carroll family history and Federal-style architecture and decorative arts. New guides also will learn about museum practices and be taught techniques for presenting the house to visitors. To request an application and reserve a space in the training sessions, or for additional information, call Abi Knipscher at 410-516-5589 or email homewoodmuseum@jhu.edu. Homewood volunteers are invited to social events, openings, lectures and tours of other historic sites.

Egyptian-dig photo diary returns to the Web this month

An unofficial summer-school course in archaeology is just a hyperlink away at Hopkins in Egypt Today

(jhu.edu/egypttoday/index.html), a website showing a dig in progress throughout June. Armchair scholars won’t earn any college credits following this blog about an ongoing excavation at the Temple of Mut precinct in Luxor, written by renowned Johns Hopkins Egyptologist Betsy Bryan with photos by Homewood Photography’s Jay VanRensse-laer, but clicking through the daily journal will give virtual visitors a taste of what life is like for the graduate students, undergradu-ates, artists, conservators and photographers working on a site that is rich in finds from ancient Egypt’s New Kingdom. Those who stop by will see Bryan and her team members taking measurements to prepare new dirt squares for excavation, and then watch as they work through layers of soil to find and study what lies beneath. A myriad of discoveries have been showcased via the site over the past decade, including a major find in 2006: a 3,400-year-old nearly intact statue of Queen Tiy that Bryan has called “one of the true masterpieces of Egyptian art.” In 2011, the team uncovered the skeleton of a man killed in the position of a bound and trussed captive, a find that will be the subject of further investigation this summer.

and reductions in Medicare reimbursements were putting considerable strain on aca-demic medical centers. In January 1997, newly appointed univer-sity President William R. Brody, impressed by Miller’s tenure as interim dean, appointed him as the Frances Watt Baker, M.D., and Lenox D. Baker Jr., M.D., Dean of the Medi-cal Faculty and the first CEO of the newly integrated Johns Hopkins Medicine. Throughout his tenure, Miller has shep-herded the organization through transitions and rough times, federal mandates in health care reform and tremendous regional and global expansions, while also encouraging and promoting innovation and excellence. “Ed leaves behind a remarkable legacy that began 15 years ago with the forma-tion of Johns Hopkins Medicine under a single strategic vision,” said Lloyd Minor, university provost and senior vice president for academic affairs, one of the event’s scheduled speakers. “From patient safety and medical education to diversity and research collaboration, there is no area that has not been impacted by Ed’s transformational leadership and his commitment to excel-lence and the academic mission. He moved academic medicine forward by leading the way here at Hopkins.” Miller’s accomplishments are both many and profound, in scope and in impact. He expanded Johns Hopkins Medicine by bringing in four additional hospitals: How-ard County General Hospital, in Columbia,

Md.; Sibley Memorial Hospital, in Washing-ton, D.C.; Suburban Hospital, in Bethesda, Md.; and All Children’s Hospital, in St. Petersburg, Fla. He oversaw one of the nation’s largest hospital construction projects, a just-opened $1.1 billion clinical building with two tow-ers: the Sheikh Fayed Cardiovascular and Critical Care Tower and the Charlotte R. Bloomberg Children’s Center. He created Johns Hopkins Medicine International and established management agreements and developed partnerships with leading hospitals in the Middle East, Asia and Latin America. His tenure included the founding at Johns Hopkins of many research institutes

and centers such as the Institute for Cell Engineering, the Center for Innovation in Quality Patient Care, the Robert Packard Center for ALS Research and the McKu-sick-Nathans Institute of Genetic Medicine. He forged a partnership with Malaysia, enabling that country to develop its first fully integrated private four-year graduate medical school and teaching hospital. With an eye to the future, he fostered the development and adoption of the innova-tive Genes to Society medical curriculum, a six-year undertaking and the first wholesale academic overhaul at the school in two decades. Christine White, executive assistant to Miller and assistant dean of the School of Medicine, says that Miller’s influence on academic medicine will be lasting. “This conference is an opportunity for us to acknowledge Ed’s tremendous contribu-tions and to consider the future of academic medicine from the strong foundation he has provided, asking questions such as, What is our role in the ongoing transformation of the American health care system? How can we maintain our commitment to education

and safety-net care despite increasing finan-cial constraints? How can we accelerate discovery and its translation from bench to bedside?” she said. In addition to Sebelius’ keynote address, the conference will feature talks on patient care, research and education, and a panel on the future of the academic medical center, moderated by Provost Minor. Minor says that academic medicine, once again, finds itself in a time of great change. Nationally, all await the Supreme Court’s decision on upholding the Affordable Care Act. But, he says, whether or not the indi-vidual mandate stands, academic medical centers must contend with declining state support, shrinking research dollars and grow-ing demand for accountability and value. The list of speakers at the event includes Elias Zerhouni, former director of the National Institutes of Health and current president of global research and develop-ment at French drug maker Sanofi; Darrell Kirch, president and CEO of the Association of American Medical Colleges; David Blu-menthal, chief health information and inno-vation officer at Partners HealthCare and a professor at Massachusetts General Hospital and the Harvard Medical School; Carol Greider, Nobel Prize winner and the Daniel Nathans Professor and Director of Molecular Biology and Genetics in the Johns Hopkins Institute for Basic Biomedical Sciences; Gail Wilensky, senior fellow at Project HOPE; Karen Davis, president of The Common-wealth Fund; John Colmers, vice president of health care transformation and strategic planning for Johns Hopkins Medicine; and David Nichols, the Mary Wallace Stanton Professor and vice dean for education at the School of Medicine. University President Ronald J. Daniels will introduce Miller and give opening remarks. The event, which is open to the entire Johns Hopkins community, will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. today, June 11, in the School of Medicine’s Turner Auditorium. A reception will follow from 4 to 6 p.m. in Turner Concourse. A video recording and photos of the event will be made available at jhu.edu/provost/mamf.

vices, and youth and community engage-ment, which will lead to improved student learning, stronger families and healthier communities. “We are planning a high-impact, high-quality school that will provide the children of East Baltimore with an outstanding edu-cational experience that will prepare them for success in school and life,” says David Andrews, dean of the Johns Hopkins School of Education, who lives a few blocks from the site. “We are also excited that other Johns Hopkins schools, such as the Peabody Institute and the schools of Medicine, Nurs-ing and Public Health, will join us in this effort as we look at meeting the needs of the whole child,” he adds. Designed with flexible space to maxi-mize opportunities for individualized and group learning, the building will adapt each classroom and common-space clusters to the changing needs of specific grade levels, and will incorporate active exterior learning spaces, including science/art terraces, roof gardens, playing fields, a student gallery, weather stations and a school garden and

School orchard. The campus will include a family support center, gymnasium, auditorium and library, all available for community use. In addition to Johns Hopkins, the Wein-berg, Annie E. Casey, Rouse Co. and Charlesmead foundations provided criti-cal capital funding support. The Windsong Trust also provided the School of Education with a startup grant for equipment, cur-riculum design, teacher recruitment, profes-sional development, and the development and implementation of a personalized plat-form. At capacity, the Henderson-Hopkins school and early child care center will have 540 and 180 students, respectively. Priority access to the school will be given to resi-dents of the EBDI project area and relocated families. The next priorities are siblings, children of nearby employers, children from surrounding East Baltimore neighborhoods and then citywide families. In addition to Rawlings-Blake and Dan-iels, others scheduled to participate in the groundbreaking program are City Council President Jack Young; Andres Alonso, chief executive officer of the Baltimore City Pub-lic Schools System; David Nichols, vice dean for education at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and president of the EBCS board of directors; and Sydney Joseph, a third-grade student at EBCS.

Donald Hickey, editor of the Johns Hop-kins Books on the War of 1812 Series.

B y G r e G r i e n z i

The Gazette

The War of 1812 has long suf-fered an inferiority complex. Unluckily wedged between the Revolutionary War and the Civil War, the conflict often

gets overlooked and thus earned the nick-names the “forgotten war” and the “Rodney Dangerfield of armed engagements.” For most Americans, knowledge of the war is limited to the victories of the USS Constitution, the origin of “The Star-Spangled Banner” at Baltimore’s Fort McHenry and Andrew Jackson’s triumph at New Orleans. In short, don’t look for a War of 1812 summer blockbuster movie or first-person shooter for Xbox anytime soon. Historian Donald Hickey is on a mission to repair this collective oversight and hopes that the fanfare around the war’s bicenten-nial, and a new book series by the Johns Hopkins University Press, will heighten public interest. Hickey, editor of the Johns Hopkins Books on the War of 1812 Series, has written widely on the conflict, including the highly acclaimed The War of 1812: A Forgotten Conflict and The War of 1812: A Short History, both published by the Uni-versity of Illinois Press. He most recently authored 187 Things You Should Know About the War of 1812 (JHU Press, 2012) and The Rockets’ Red Glare: An Illustrated History of the War of 1812 (JHU Press, 2011) with co-author Connie Clark. To promote the book series and the bicentennial, the Johns Hopkins Univer-

sity Press will co-host two events this week, when the national celebration of the war begins. On Tuesday, June 12, Hickey and other historians will gather for a War of 1812 Workshop, to be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Historic London Town and Gardens in Edgewater, Md. Hickey and Clark will attend a reception and book talk on The Rockets’ Red Glare at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 13, at the National Aquarium in Baltimore. The new book includes thrilling stories and stunning

JHU Press: Telling stories of the ‘forgotten war’by Ralph Eshelman; In Full Glory Reflected, by Eshelman and Burton K. Kummerow; and The War of 1812 in the Chesapeake: A Reference Guide to Historic Sites in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia, by Eshel-man, Hickey and Scott S. Sheads. Hickey, a professor of history at Wayne State College in Nebraska, has had a fascina-tion with the War of 1812 ever since his days in college. In his books, he seeks to debunk some of the myths of the war and reveal some lesser-known facts, such as the conflict being the first use of the famous Uncle Sam character. Hickey believes the war was not techni-cally won. “It was a draw,” he says. “Neither side truly achieved their war aims. We were not able to take portions of Canada. We faced a formi-dable foe, and it was a tough war to support since we had a newly established military and the war was spread out over a vast territory, from the Deep South to Canada.” The war was significant, he says, as it forced the U.S. military to modernize and grow. Hickey said that two more books in the series are currently in the works and are expected to be published next year. For more on the series and upcoming events, go to press.jhu.edu/books/features_series.html.

A Johns Hopkins team took first prize in the 2012 BME-idea competition, sponsored by the National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators

Alliance. The winning design, CryoPop, is a low-cost medical device that uses dry ice for the treatment of cervical precancerous lesions. Today cervical cancer kills an esti-mated 250,000 women, with 85 percent of the disease burden occurring in low-resource or developing countries. The CryoPop relies

only on carbon dioxide tanks, which are already available in developing countries (as a result of the presence of soda companies), and is 10 times cheaper, 30 times more effi-cient, and more effective and reliable than the currently utilized technology. The proj-ect, sponsored by Jhpiego, was presented at BME Design Day 2012. Team members from the Whiting School’s Center for Bioengi-neering Innovation and Design included Marton Varady, Shuja Dawood and John Sidhom. —Mary Beth Regan

The three-week Johns Hopkins Gallup Survey was launched on June 1, and by the end of the first week, nearly

half the university staff being surveyed had responded to the questionnaire, which will measure employee engagement. According to figures reported by Gallup to Johns Hopkins, the Libraries staff had the highest participation rate, at 67.65 percent, followed by Homewood Student Affairs at 56.51 percent and Peabody staff at 56.31 percent. Administration is encouraging staff to keep the numbers rising. “We realize that university employees are asked to take a lot of surveys, but the engage-ment survey is a very important one for understanding how we can all create a better place to work,” said Debbie Sampson, senior director of Talent Management and Orga-nization Development, who is overseeing the university’s survey effort. “That is why everyone’s participation is so important.” To encourage employees to complete the survey, a weekly prize is being offered, the winner to be chosen by Gallup through a random drawing. Week one’s participants were eligible to win an iPad. The second week’s prize is a Kindle, and the winner’s

name will be drawn from the first two weeks’ respondents. In week three, which ends June 21, everyone who completed the survey dur-ing the allotted time will be entered to win a gift certificate. For those employees who have not yet participated, Sampson said that there are three important reasons to consider doing so. “It will give you a chance to evaluate your work environment and highlight what is going well and what could be improved. Your feedback matters and can help build a culture of engagement in your department. And employee engagement makes a differ-ence in your workplace and in your personal and team performance,” she said. After the responses are tallied, manage-ment will receive summary data for employ-ees in their work groups, and Gallup will meet with university executives to discuss overall results and priorities. Managers will share survey results with their employees, who will be asked to participate in devel-oping impact plans to change their work environment for the better, Sampson said. Training to assist managers with conduct-ing impact meetings with their staff will be available in the fall.

Two weeks remain for taking employment engagement survey

illustrations ranging from when the United States declared war on Great Britain in 1812 to the Treaty of Ghent in February 1815. The war broke out following British attempts to restrict U.S. trade and the Royal Navy’s impressment of American seamen. The United States also sought to expand its territory into Canada. The United States suffered many costly defeats at the hands of British, Cana-dian and Native American troops over the course of the war, including the capture and burning of Washington, D.C., in August 1814. American troops thwarted British invasions in New York, Baltimore and New Orleans, boosting national confidence and fostering a new spirit of patriotism. The ratification of the Treaty of Ghent on Feb. 17, 1815, ended the war but left many key issues unresolved. The Johns Hopkins Books on the War of 1812 Series currently includes six pub-lications—classic works alongside recent scholarship. Flotilla, by Donald Shomette, tells the story of the Patuxent naval cam-paign. For nearly two years, the British navy conducted devastating raids on small villages along the shores of the Chesapeake Bay. Then, in 1814, Capt. Joshua Barney led his Chesapeake flotilla against the British, determined to contest their advance on the nation’s capital and drive them from the area. The flotilla ultimately suffered defeat but managed to inflict significant damages on the far-superior British fleet. Hickey’s 187 Things You Should Know About the War of 1812, scheduled to be published soon, offers a concise and engag-ing question-and-answer guide to the con-flict. Other titles in the series are A Travel Guide to the War of 1812 in the Chesapeake,

Carey

Ferrari began his career as a surgeon. Before joining McKinsey, he was chief oper-ating officer and assistant medical director of the Ochsner Clinic in New Orleans; he pre-viously served as vice chairman of the clinic’s Department of Colon and Rectal Surgery. “Dr. Ferrari is a proven leader, visionary strategist and expert communicator who values deeply the importance of building partnerships,” said university President Ronald J. Daniels, who recommended the appointment to the executive committee of the board of trustees. “He has a keen under-standing of the challenges and opportunities in business education. He appreciates the critical importance of investing in the best and brightest faculty devoted to discovery, to excellence in teaching and to being engaged university citizens. “Throughout my conversations with Dr. Ferrari, I have been impressed by his intel-lect, energy and passion,” Daniels added. “I know he will be a wonderful colleague.” Lloyd B. Minor, provost and senior vice president for academic affairs, chaired the search committee that identified Ferrari. “We found Dr. Ferrari to be uniquely quali-fied for this important leadership position. He is poised to build on the Carey School’s many successes and to enhance its partner-ships with other Johns Hopkins schools, par-ticularly in the areas of health care and the life sciences,” Minor said. “Dr. Ferrari shares Johns Hopkins’ commitment to excellence, and he appreciates the integral role the Carey Business School plays in that pursuit.” Ferrari is a member of the board of trustees

of the University of Rochester, where he has been actively engaged with the Simon Graduate School of Business. He is also a trustee of the Juilliard School and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. His papers have been published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, McKinsey Quarterly and The New England Journal of Medicine. His book, Power Listening: Master-ing the Most Critical Business Skill of All, was published earlier this year. The Carey Business School was estab-lished with a gift from trustee emeritus Wm. Polk Carey. Its business offerings include several joint degree programs with other Johns Hopkins schools, partnerships that Ferrari said attracted him to the institution. “Johns Hopkins is an amazing constel-lation of 10 very bright stars,” Ferrari said, referring to the schools of Arts and Sciences, Education, Engineering, Medicine, Nursing and Public Health; SAIS; the Peabody Insti-tute; and the Applied Physics Laboratory. “This university is a collaborator’s dream,” he said. “The disciplines embedded in a business school relate to many of the disciplines in these other world-renowned schools,” he said. “The opportunities for creative knowl-edge building among faculty, students and staff abound. I am honored to have been chosen to lead the Carey Business School, and I look forward to being a part of this great university.” Ferrari is a cum laude graduate of the University of Rochester, from which he also received his medical degree. He earned a JD magna cum laude from Loyola Univer-sity and an MBA from Tulane University. He is married to Linda Ferrari, a former commercial banker and an active docent at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. G

Peabody Institute

Peabody Conservatory faculty artist Marina Piccinini will explore the spir-itual and elegant relationship between

Asian and French music at a recital at 7 p.m. on Friday, June 15, in Peabody’s Leith Symington Griswold Hall. One of the world’s leading flute virtuosos, Piccinini will perform with pianists Araceli Chacon and Colette Valentine. The pro-gram includes Sonate pour flute et piano by contemporary Japanese composer Yuko Uebayashi, who lives in Paris; Trois pieces orientales pour flute seule by Pierre-Octave Ferroud, in which the composer, who died in his 30s in 1936, imitates the sound of the traditional Chinese flute; and Sonate No. 1 en A Majeur, op. 13, by Gabriel Faure, writ-ten originally for violin in 1876. “I chose pieces by a Japanese composer and by two French composers to show how the two sides, East and West, have influenced one another in music for the flute,” Piccinini said. “French music has always been very closely associated with the modern flute, embody-ing principles of color, breath and perfume. While reflecting these concepts, Asian cul-ture maintains a sense of spirit reminiscent of meditation and stillness, as well as the sound of the traditional instruments.” The recital officially opens the fifth year of the Marina Piccinini International Flute Master Classes at Peabody. This year there will be 25 performing participants, ranging in age from 14 to 59. Selected on the basis of their years of study and performances

sampled on CDs, the participants will come to Baltimore from as far away as Austria, Mexico and the United Kingdom. Piccinini, the first flutist to win an Avery Fisher Career Grant from New York’s Lin-coln Center, has been a soloist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the London Philharmonic, the Tokyo Symphony and many other leading ensembles. As part of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra’s Festival of Flutes last fall, she was the soloist in a performance of Paquito D’Rivera’s flute con-certo Gran Danzon, conducted by Leonard Slatkin. Piccinini has been a faculty artist at Peabody since 2001. Tickets for the June 15 recital are $20; $10 for students with ID. To reserve tickets, call 410-234-4772.

Homewood

In the Office of Undergraduate Admis-sions at The Johns Hopkins University, the story is much the same this spring

as it has been for the past two years: Once again, the incoming freshman class has given the Homewood schools their highest-ever yield from an increasingly large pool of applicants. As of June 1, 37.5 percent of the 3,632 high school students offered admission into the undergraduate class of 2016 have enrolled, for a class of 1,362 students. The freshmen were drawn from a record-break-ing 20,504 applicants, up 6 percent from last year. The admit rate held steady for a second year in a row at a record low of 18 percent. In terms of diversity, the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences and the Whiting School of Engineering have been enrolling more students who are African-American, His-panic and Native American each year since 2009. The 273 incoming freshmen from underrepresented minorities make up 19.6 percent of the class of 2016, up from 12.9 percent three years ago. The Admissions Office has noted an

increase this year in the percentage of humanities students enrolling, with 28 per-cent of students indicating they wish to major in the humanities, up from 24 per-cent last year. The top five states that the enrolling students call home are the same as last year, although Maryland has overtaken California at third place. New York and New Jersey hold first and second place, with Pennsylvania rounding out the top five. The target for the freshman class was pegged at 1,275, a number that allowed for 30 more students than in the previous fresh-man class. The class of 2016 had a higher-than-expected response rate, though admis-sions officials expect to lose some of these students with “summer melt,” the admissions term describing the seasonal phenomenon when some students change their plans. For instance, 1,302 students enrolled in the class of 2015, which was targeted at 1,245; by the time the class moved into the residence halls in late August 2011, 57 students had changed their plans, bringing the class to its targeted size. Even so, university officials are making preparations to welcome a class that is slightly larger than anticipated, including securing extra housing options and add-ing new sections of many popular gateway courses if necessary.

Class of 2016 nets highest yield at Homewood Because the class is currently at capacity, the university released the majority of wait-listed students in late May; a small number of students were offered spots on a “summer wait list.”

The increased enrollment figures are, in part, the result of many university initia-tives, including admitted-student events hosted by the Admissions Office through-out April. This year’s signature events—two two-day Spring Open House and Over-night Programs—brought more than 930 admitted students and 1,770 total guests to campus.

Homewood Campus Safety and Secu-rity will conduct a test of the campus siren/public address system and the

Johns Hopkins Emergency Alert text mes-saging system at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, June 12. The test will be a full-scale simultaneous activation of both systems. The siren/PA sys-tem, which is activated by radio signal from the Homewood Communications Center, has speakers on Garland Hall, Whitehead Hall and the O’Connor Recreation Center. The sirens will simultaneously sound the alert tone and then sequentially broadcast the voice message, announcing, “This is a test of the Homewood campus emergency warning system.” Those who have sub-scribed to the text message alert system will receive a brief message that reads, “This is a test of the Homewood Emergency Alert text message system. There is NO EMER-

GENCY. Had there been an imminent threat additional information would follow.” Shortly after the public address broadcast, an all-clear alert tone will sound, followed by the message saying, in part, “This has been a test of the Homewood campus emer-gency warning system. Had there been an actual emergency, you would have been given specific instructions on what to do.” Because the public address system incorpo-rates a silent self-test feature that will exercise each module on a weekly basis, Campus Safety and Security will schedule “live” tests only three times a year. The main purpose of the exercise is to familiarize the Homewood community with the sound of the system. Except for these periodic tests, the system will be used only in the event of an incident or situation that presents a significant threat to the lives or safety of the campus community.
