Posted on 15. Jan, 2009 by Tracey Reeves in Uncategorized

Faculty, staff and students who would like to watch the inauguration of Barack Obama at noon on Jan. 20, can get together at a number of open viewings. We know of the following locations (more may be arranged before Tuesday):

  • At Homewood, a showing is scheduled for 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Shriver Hall Auditorium, and live coverage will be streamed in Mason Hall.
  • The Carey Business School will show the proceedings from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Downtown Center’s Berman Auditorium.
  • The School of Nursing viewing will be from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Pinkard Building’s Alumni Auditorium, with overflow space in Room 217.
  • Inauguration coverage will be available at the School of Public Health throughout the day on the large screen in the Monument Street gallery, at Feinstone Hall and in the Hampton House auditorium.
  • Beginning at 11:30 a.m., Johns Hopkins Medicine will show the events in Hurd Hall, Turner Auditorium and the Asthma and Allergy Center at Bayview.
  • Also beginning at 11:30 a.m., APL staff will be able to watch the swearing-in and inaugural address on monitors in the cafeterias. In addition, APL Web Video will offer the choice of CNN or FoxNews coverage streamed to individual computers.
  • At the Peabody Institute, TVs in Unger Lounge and in each residence hall lounge will be tuned to the ceremonies in Washington.
  • SAIS, in Washington, will be closed for the day.
  • Venturing off-campus but not heading to Washington? The Baltimore Sun has a round-up of alternative ideas for enjoying the inaugural events without actually being there.
