The Ten for One

In the Spring of 2022, Johns Hopkins launched a series of conversations around a new strategic vision for the university. The discussions that followed were remarkable. President Daniels held 65 listening sessions with over 1,200 faculty, students and staff from across the university, as well as our neighbors and community partners across Baltimore. These conversations helped to shape the Ten for One, our next strategic framework, setting out ten ambitious new goals for our One University through the end of the decade.

At the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, President Ron Daniels and Human Resources host one of a series of conversations about the university's Ten for One strategic plan, this one with staff from the East Baltimore campus.

Time and again, we have demonstrated that when we strive and dream together, we can expand the horizons of knowledge and impact the world in extraordinary and indelible ways. Now is our chance to do so again. This strategic framework sets out ten new goals for Johns Hopkins University through 2030 under four organizing pillars: One University, Individual and Collective Excellence, Knowledge and Impact, and Community Partnership and Economic Opportunity for Baltimore and the other communities of which we are a part. We look forward with great anticipation to all that lies ahead and all that we will achieve together—as One University.

Revisiting the Ten by Twenty

Released in 2013, the Ten by Twenty strategic framework was the first of its kind for our university – an articulation of ten shared priorities to guide the entire university through the end of that decade. Forged through conversations that spanned the university and the broader communities of which we are a part, the plan mapped our exceptional history, the challenges we faced, and the boundless opportunities that lay ahead. And under that framework, we accomplished extraordinary things. Through the links below, you can explore the original Ten by Twenty, the progress reports we issued along the way, and a final report card at the close of the decade of all that the university achieved under that framework.
