Greetings: It is my pleasure to convey this annual financial report of The Johns Hopkins University covering fiscal year 2001. Throughout its 125-year history, Johns Hopkins has distinguished itself by continuously pioneering new fields of research and study. As the first modern research university in America, we introduced a new model of education focused on discovery. Medical education was revolutionized when we created the nation’s first true teaching hospital with an integrated scientific medical school. In academic disciplines ranging from public health to international relations, astronomy to biomedical engineering, Hopkins has blazed new paths by supporting a world-class faculty of creative individuals and giving them the freedom to pursue their own research interests. At the conclusion of an unprecedented period of growth and achievement, Johns Hopkins University finishes the first year of a new century in sound financial condition. The Johns Hopkins Initiative raised more than $1.5 billion in gifts and commitments, and upon its successful completion the Board of Trustees voted at the start of fiscal year 2001 to begin immediately laying the groundwork for a new campaign. The following pages offer a closer look at some of the remarkable financial achievements of the past year, and how the funds raised—including an unprecedented $347.4 million in new gifts and payments on pledges—are being targeted toward projects and programs that will keep Hopkins at the forefront of discovery. But more than a catalog of gifts received, this report documents the way Johns Hopkins is building a foundation for the future. From one of the nation’s first centers for civilian biodefense research to one of its most respected graduate programs in international studies, the University continues to pioneer new areas of critical importance in these dangerous and turbulent times. Sincerely, |
