Alert: Responding to the Tragic Events
Events on and after September 11, 2001 changed our world forever. Bioterrorism
is suddenly an international fear. Anthrax has become a household word,
joining the resurgence of smallpox as a potential national health threat.
It didn’t take long for the University of Maryland to jump into
the forefront in fighting bioterrorism. Dean Donald E. Wilson highlights
Maryland’s response in his dean’s message.
A Salute to Kenneth
P. Johnson
Retiring Neurology
Chair to Continue Life-long Dedication to Helping
MS Patients
A sterling 20-year career as chairman of the department of neurology
comes to a close, yet his efforts to treat—and perhaps one day
cure—multiple sclerosis continue. The Bulletin recognizes the life-time
accomplishments of Dr. Kenneth P. Johnson.
The Medical Alumni
Association Honor Roll
Each year in the winter issue of the Bulletin, the Medical Alumni Association
recognizes thousands of alumni, faculty and friends who supported the
annual fund during the past fiscal year. In this issue, we pay tribute
to those whose gifts were received between July 1, 2000 and June 30,
2001.
