On
March 13, 2015 the CDAI launched the 2nd edition of the JHU
university-wide photo contest focusing on Healthy Aging.
The first edition, launched in 2014, received pictures from around the world, submitted by Johns Hopkins staff, faculty and students. With generous support from the JHU Alumni Association, the Healthy Aging Photo Competition awarded an iPad to the grand prize winner and an e-reader to the runner up. We hope to repeat the huge success in 2015!
