New Gift Will Support Family Therapy for Underserved Communities

Since its creation, the importance of a strong family unit has been the foundation of the Jeanette Spier Beavers Endowed Memorial Scholarship. Established by Lois Spier Gray to memorialize her sister Jeanette Spier Beavers, the funds used to establish the scholarship were initially meant to support Lois herself. Jeanette had set the money aside to help Lois and her husband, who was suffering from Parkinson's disease.

To Mask or Not to Mask?

We're all confused about what we should be doing about masks—and with good reason. We are receiving conflicting information from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) on whether we should wear masks and continue to follow social distancing practices. And every day, the promise of a mask-free summer is called into question as we learn more about the Delta variant—a more contagious mutation of COVID-19. To clear up the confusion, Bem Faris, communications and media manager for the SPH sat down with Dr. Donald Milton, professor of applied environmental health at the University of Maryland and a leading expert on how viruses spread through the air.
