Johns Hopkins is a community of discovery.
At its founding in 1876, Johns Hopkins University announced a bold new experiment in higher education in the United States: We established the blueprint for the American research university. Over time, Johns Hopkins and other great research universities for which it served as a model and an inspiration have cemented their place as indispensable institutions in our increasingly interconnected global society.
Today, Johns Hopkins has an opportunity to build on that progress and continue the trajectory of excellence we began 150 years ago. As we have throughout our history, we will rely on our pioneering spirit and the ideas and innovations of exceptional individuals to make a lasting impact in our communities and around the world.
