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.

To Mask or Not to Mask?

We're all confused about what we should be doing about masks—and with good reason.

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.
