The Assistant Dean for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion collaborates with school leadership to shape the campus-wide effort to recruit, retain, and support a diverse faculty, postdoctoral, staff, and undergraduate/graduate student body. The assistant dean serves as a key partner for the university’s vice provost for diversity and inclusion and chief diversity officer in advancing the Roadmap on Diversity and Inclusion, Johns Hopkins’ institution-wide diversity and inclusion strategic plan.
