At Johns Hopkins we strive to be a model of a pluralistic society in which we acknowledge, embrace, and engage diverse identities, perspectives, and experiences. We seek to build and buttress an inclusive intellectual and physical environment to ensure that all members of our community know with certainty that they belong at Johns Hopkins. We aspire to equitably share the benefits and burdens of dismantling persistent systemic barriers to individual and communal success.
The Krieger School of Arts and Sciences works within the framework of the Johns Hopkins University Roadmap 2.0 to develop targeted graduate student and faculty recruitment strategies that reflect our diversity goals.
We evaluate existing graduate admissions data to develop and implement customized recruitment efforts. We also build on the inclusive practices in our faculty search process and strengthen our relationships with diversity advocates. Additionally, we engage with our department diversity champions in the development and success of department-specific diversity action plans.
Our committee
The role of the Committee for Diversity and Inclusion (CDI) is to provide an honest assessment of the current climate of the department, identify key issues to address, propose an action plan to create a more equitable environment, and continually seek ways for us to improve.
