This enduring insight from Albert Einstein shapes our understanding of world-class education. To better prepare students to be global citizens, ready to thrive in a complex and rapidly changing world, Hopkins will enhance its Liberal Arts and STEM programs in ways that foster deep academic knowledge and critical real-world skills.

Hopkins is a diverse school, with our population coming from more than 60 towns, speaking more than a dozen languages, and comprising nearly one half students of color. And we are situated in a small but world-class university city that in many ways is a microcosm of modern America. In just 20 square miles, New Haven contains a rich complexity of human experience, and connecting with the city and its people offers valuable opportunities to increase awareness, sensitivity, and understanding. For all these reasons, Hopkins will elevate its engagement with and learning from New Haven and surrounding communities. 

In an intellectually rigorous and fast-paced environment like Hopkins, we need to prioritize caring for each individual person. A heightened emphasis on well-being and belonging will promote balance between the drive for academic achievement and the need for personal wellness. Hopkins will bring together a talented and diverse community where everyone is valued and has the resources they need to thrive.

We will carefully steward our resources of time and space, reimagining our daily schedule, renewing our historic campus, and creating sustainable facilities that promote world-class teaching and learning, health and wellness, and a strong sense of community at Hopkins.
