Every day, around the globe, Johns Hopkins faculty, students, and alumni are researching and implementing dramatic new ways to push the frontiers and improve people's lives. From Baltimore to sub-Saharan Africa, we are on the front lines addressing the big questions and developing innovative solutions to tackle the toughest issues.
Our goal is not knowledge for its own sake; everything we do is shared with the world. And you can share in this, too. Please join us in our efforts by supporting the Knowledge for the World campaign.
The Knowledge for the World campaign is focused on the key elements, the critical pieces of infrastructure, that will enable our faculty, our researchers, our clinicians, our students, and our graduates to attack the challenges and embrace the opportunities of a new world. Those elements are:
Support for Student Financial Aid
We seek the most talented undergraduate and graduate students, those with the most potential to use their knowledge to have a positive impact on the world. We seek to bring them to Johns Hopkins, regardless of their ability to pay, whether they are from neighborhoods in the shadow of our campuses or from neighborhoods in the farthest corners of the world. And when they leave Johns Hopkins, we expect them to prove themselves worthy of the investment made in them by the university and their benefactors.
Support for Faculty
Likewise, we seek the most talented faculty, those with the most potential not only to advance knowledge but also to mentor the future leaders who will put that knowledge to use. We seek to provide our young investigators with startup funds and our established faculty with the stability of endowed professorships and the tools they need for both research and teaching.
Support for Facilities
We seek the labs, the libraries, and the learning spaces that free our faculty and students to do their best work. We seek the clinical facilities that give healers every advantage in their battles against disease and give patients every resource that promotes their recovery.
Support for Research and Academic Programs
Johns Hopkins not only applies its knowledge for the world, it does so around the world. We seek to help our teachers, learners, and researchers who are active in nearly every corner of the globe. They are reconstituting K-12 schools around America, treating malaria and training midwives in developing countries, developing new techniques in our surgical suites, uncovering the mysteries of history at archaeological digs, and remediating the impact of pollutants in our waterways. In fact, they are even working literally out of this world: Johns Hopkins researchers play a critical role in interpreting the faintest cosmological clues to the true nature of our universe.
Unrestricted Support
Whether from the annual fund or endowment gifts, unrestricted support provides the best means for the university to respond to society's most urgent problems and the most pressing needs of students, faculty and patients.
