Naming an Endowed Position

The excellence of Johns Hopkins University thrives on endowed professorships and other positions, such as deanships, directorships, or curatorships. These positions empower us to attract and retain the finest faculty and academic leaders and are especially important to Johns Hopkins’ ongoing mission of research, teaching, and patient care. Your gift to establish an endowed position makes you a partner in the future success of Johns Hopkins, ensuring that, through permanent funding, some of the world’s brightest minds can accomplish the extraordinary here at Johns Hopkins.

You may choose to endow a professorship in your name or in honor of someone else. Some donors indicate the academic area they would like to support while others prefer guidance on identifying areas of greatest need. Giving amounts to establish an endowed position vary. To learn more, contact a gift officer at the school or division that you wish to support.
