Dear Johns Hopkins University Community,  It has been a difficult several months as we, and our colleagues across higher education, navigate reductions and uncertainties in federal research support, as well as changes in federal...

We write to share several updates, including important developments affecting our international students and the launch of support programs for our faculty, staff, and students. 

As we have been in the past, we are resolute in our commitment to facing the challenges before us together as one university.

Abrupt and sweeping cuts in NIH funding pose an extraordinary challenge to the important and lifesaving work of our faculty, staff, and students at Johns Hopkins, and put at risk the future of the American research enterprise as a whole.

As a new administration arrives in Washington, research universities are being called upon to navigate a period of substantial change.

Our mission is rooted in openness to difference and intellectual exploration, and these values are etched into our norms of academic freedom and tenure.

Voting is as easy as it is powerful, and Hopkins is here to support and encourage every member of our community to exercise their right to vote.

This week, we officially released our new Climate Action and Sustainability Plan (CASP), animated by an ambitious new goal to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040.

The impact of the Supreme Court ruling on racial and ethnic diversity in this admissions cycle is profoundly disappointing, but our commitment to building and supporting a diverse class is unwavering.

In a university setting, the duty of care calls upon each member of our community to share their perspectives and beliefs on matters that are debated and discussed here. This duty of care also requires that we recognize the humanity of others, including when they hold views, beliefs, and values that are divergent from our own.
