Society selects students for their outstanding scholarly achievement and commitment to advocacy and to fostering diversity By Saralyn Cruickshank / Published May 14, 2021
Five Johns Hopkins graduate students have been selected to join the university s chapter of the Edward Alexander Bouchet Graduate Honor Society, which recognizes outstanding scholarly achievement and promotes diversity and excellence in doctoral education and the professoriate.
The Bouchet Society seeks to develop a network of scholars who exemplify academic and personal excellence, foster collegial and inclusive environments, and serve as examples of scholarship, leadership, character, service, and advocacy for students who have been traditionally underrepresented in higher education. The society is named for Edward Alexander Bouchet, who in 1876 became the first African American to receive a doctoral degree in the United States.

For the last three years, North West Housing Partnership (NWHP) has paved the way to independence for senior citizens 65 and up to age in place and remain in their homes.
Through the CAPABLE (Community Aging in Place, Advancing Better Living for Elders) program, barriers that would otherwise prevent seniors from living independently are addressed through coordinated visits from an occupational therapist (OT), a registered nurse (RN) and a handyperson.
The vital importance of this program was amplified over the last year through the pandemic. It enabled seniors to remain in a safer home environment away from rampant COVID-19 exposures, which were widely publicized in group or assisted living facilities. Additionally, emergency room visits, and hospital stays either decreased or were eliminated entirely - keeping this vulnerable population safely away from healthcare facilities where in some, COVID-19 cases were skyrocketing.
