Over breakfast at my guesthouse a couple of weeks ago, I met Varsha Ramakrishnan, a physician and recipient this year of a masters degree in public health from Johns Hopkins. Now on contract with the World Bank, Varsha encourages women in villages across Tamil Nadu to take a stand against domestic violence and other common evils. What's more, Varsha's report on dowry violence in India appears in the current issue of Johns Hopkins Public Health Magazine, just a few pages away from my friend Maryalice's account of NativeVision Camp, an annual program for Native American kids held in New Mexico.

From the Hopkins Around the World website: Johns Hopkins University has its eye to the world. For more than 125 years, we have encouraged faculty and students to think imaginatively and act globally. From pioneering medical and nursing training at Peking Union Medical College in the 1910s, to creating a graduate level international relations campus in Bologna, Italy just ten years after the end of World War II, to conducting ongoing Antarctic geological research and running research and training programs on every continent on earth, Johns Hopkins embraces the world in its quest to learn, know and discover. On Johns Hopkins campuses in China, Italy, and the United States, students work closely with world-renowned faculty exploring issues ranging from religious practices in ancient Egypt to the cutting edge of genetic medicine. By its tradition of global leadership in education, research, service and patient care, Johns Hopkins University holds an honored place among the world’s greatest institutions of higher learning.
