 Chaturvedi Receives JHU Alumni Award Bharati Chaturvedi M.I.P.P. ’07 received the 2009 Johns Hopkins University Alumni Association’s Knowledge for the World Award on September 24 in honor of her service to improving conditions for the poor. Chaturvedi founded Chintan, an environmental research and action group focusing on issues of environmental and economic justice for the urban poor in India. Stavros Niarchos Foundation Funds Student Aid The Stavros Niarchos Foundation has committed to a grant of $500,000 over two years to fund student fellowships and internships. The grant will create a pipeline of talented young candidates, specifically from Greece and the European Union, with transatlantic sensibilities. This brings the school closer to its “Leaders for the Future” initiative goal and complements the significant increase in the number of alumni who are giving back to SAIS. To assist in Niarchos Fellowship recruiting efforts, contact Ashley Rogers at arogers@jhu.edu or Gabriella Chiappini at gchiappini@johnshopkins.it.
