The aspirations that inspire and guide us as we look to the second half of the decade.

Rising to the Challenge
Exceeding expectations with our latest fundraising campaign.

Attracting New Partnerships
Searching for new resources to help us innovate. At a time when researchers are dealing with funding shortfalls from traditional sources, Johns Hopkins is looking for new ways to support the work that is necessary to make groundbreaking discoveries. The Maryland E-Nnovation Initiative Fund was established by the General Assembly in 2014 to fund basic and applied scientific research in colleges and universities across
One University
Improving the Humanities
New faculty and a new institute to promote the humanities in Baltimore and beyond. While published reports indicate that the humanities at other colleges and universities are struggling with funding cuts and declining enrollments, Johns Hopkins is placing a greater emphasis on the importance of these disciplines by increasing its support for humanities students and faculty. The number of tenure track professors in the humanities at Hopkins has been growing

To modernize the services we provide our students, the university launched the Student Services Excellence Initiative in

A comprehensive approach to increasing faculty diversity. To achieve lasting excellence, it is crucial that the university recruits and retains a diverse community of professors and researchers. Johns Hopkins made a major $25 million commitment to boost its efforts in November 2015 with the launch of the Faculty Diversity Initiative. FDI funding is being used to conduct more expansive and inclusive searches,
