Ten by Twenty Progress Report
In the spring of 2019, Johns Hopkins University launched its third progress report—30 snapshots of projects large and small that exemplify its work toward the Ten by Twenty goals
Since taking office in March 2009, Ronald J. Daniels, Johns Hopkins University’s 14th president, has focused his leadership on enhanced interdisciplinary collaboration, individual excellence, and community engagement. These three overarching themes created the backbone of the Ten by Twenty, a strategic vision for Johns Hopkins through 2020.
In his writing, his advocacy, and his personal commitment, President Daniels—a law and economics scholar—has taken a leadership role in a number of areas, including urban engagement, especially within the Baltimore community; funding support for research in general and young researchers in particular; and fostering innovation and entrepreneurialism.
