Our best ideas are yet to come.
Ronald J. Daniels took office in March 2009 as the 14th president of Johns Hopkins University. Before his appointment at Johns Hopkins, Daniels was provost at the University of Pennsylvania, and before that, dean and James M. Tory Professor of Law at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law.
Daniels is the author or co-author of dozens of scholarly articles and the author or editor of seven books. In 2009, he was elected a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He sits on the boards of the East Baltimore Development Inc., the Baltimore Community Foundation, the Goldseker Foundation, the Maryland Chamber of Commerce, the Governor’s International Advisory Council, and the Asia Pacific Rim Universities World Institute.
In May 2013, after several years of discussions with faculty and students, staff and alumni, deans and trustees, Daniels unveiled “Ten by Twenty.” This set of four major priorities, grouped by themes, is guiding the university through the remainder of the decade. To take a look at how the university is doing as it approaches this milepost, visit http://10x2020progress.jhu.edu/ for progress reports, success stories, and where Johns Hopkins is striving to do more to move the needle.
