Faculty Diversity Initiative
Diversity and inclusion are fundamental to the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health’s mission of promoting health and reducing inequality locally and around the world. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion means attracting exceptionally talented faculty from a breadth of backgrounds and experiences and sustaining a campus culture where all faculty can be successful. We expect that our efforts to promote a more inclusive environment will benefit all groups.
